black or silver brass nips?

I commissioned these videos!

On the brake lever chat, I had some Tektro levers that I used for years (I'm not sure how, I tried them again recently and they were incredibly uncomfortable) which didn't have springs or anything. I was going to try and do something clever to stop the unused lever flapping about but a temporary solution of shoving a ball of electrical tape in the body became a permanent solution because it worked really well and took 0 expenditure and 0 brain power.

hear hear.
lots of good opinions [appreciate] and i concur, the cane creek shape is unbearable, even if they look good and the springy left lever does not need any cable bodge.
Well aware of the ultegra di2 option but the hype has been there and inflated the price.
I'll definilty be watching some campag 11 lever auctions to modify as it seems in line with the project.
Trps are nice but ugly and too old school for a mash, i feel.
The r785 hydro ultegra would be the option if disc fork (likely) as they are sooo comfy and would annoy the r8070 crew.
I think that's it !
Now spokes. so far i have silver 50t chainring, the front caliper will be 105 silver/grey.
i don't think black j-bend hubs work at all with silver spokes, do they ?
