My thinking was to leave all the components completely plain and black to show off the frame. They were also all very cheap off classifieds and when I got them for the build I didn't know how it would turn out so didn't seem worth wasting money on it.
I think the chunky carbon forks work well to match the rear triangle and balance the chunky frame tubes so they're a keeper for me. But now I think it could look really nice with silver wheels, stem, seatpost, bars. With a Brooks saddle and leather/ cork bar tape and I do think that gumwall tyres are a good shout.
It's going to stay in it's current guise in the near future as I don't have the money to start chopping and changing components. But it may have a face lift further down the line.
