what I am about to ask is totally matter of opinion, so be nice. I would like to build a completely black bike and since it's not really practical - there is always some sliver bits sticking out somewhere... I have been in 2 minds with what wheels to get, shall I go for black rims with black spokes with the unavoidable silver braking surface, or shall I go for silver rims and silver spokes so the machined braking surface is sort of not as noticeable? Varno, what is your professional opinion on this matter??
