  1. Looks really good. Black components would have been a neat touch too -you’d get a Halloween sort of look. I spec’d my bike that way (it’s sort of a mint color of paint), but I also realize that the black can look awful once it starts to scratch up and the silver underneath shows through the anodizing anyhow.

    1. Rims, seatpost, bar, stem, and tape/cables will be black. The silver cranks don’t show scratches/shoe-rub. Plus, that particular model is inexpensive, works great, and looks pretty decent.

    1. The 46t is leftover from my Rawland rSogn. It will probably get replaced with a 48t ‘ring.

  3. any reason you went with the centaur fd rather than, say, a cx70? do shimano fd’s not mix well in a shimergo setup?

    1. The Shimano units work, but I find that the Campy derailleurs have a better “feel” with Campy shifters.
