I'd have gone with a black groupset if I hadn't already had the alloy Athena groupset waiting for a frame as discussed on the last page. Having said that, I'm really happy with the way it's turned out so no real regrets there at all.
As for hubs, absolutely no complaints so far but they've only really been round the block so far, so there shouldn't be any yet anyway. Was very close to going with record hubs but the lack of choice for spoke count and the fact that they only come in black were the deciding factor. Also considered the novatec super lights but the wheelbuilder suggested they were virtually dry weather only in his experience
