The Waterford is mine and had bounced around a few thread these past days. Glad you asked about the black parts.
Sugino cranks, nitro bits, all were GOLD when I bought them. Ugly. But on sale. And for a cool 20 I was able to get them anodised black. Look around I'm sure you can do the same. Considered doing it to a whole kit once.
Wheels are destickered Mavics. Fork is a rattle canned pink Stratos. I was taking a hard turn that I wasn't anticipating and ended up off a 2 ft ledge in a full banked turn at about 25 miles an hour. Had I been on a freewheel or not hauling ass while turning I'd have been fine. Front
end came down hard and fork didn't stand a chance. Stratos was imported from Japan. Perfect fit.
