ok so yellow tyres it is




....nah, leaning towards the blue. The wheels are built on order and I am told they will arrive the middle/end of next week.

So, I still need to order:
25mm seatpost, rim tape (not using electrical tape!), blue tyres and a naff knee friendly sprocket. The wheels come with an 18t, but I'll stick a wimpy 22t on the flop side of the flip-flop wheel.

Damn...another problem. The guy building my wheels has said he is out of silver rims, which means I now have to chose between 30mm or 40mm deep white or black - think 40mm deep black wheels will ruin this bike?

My other options are the wait for 3 weeks for steel rims to be in stock (I will be at uni then - so a bit too late) or a refund (but seeing as this was done through paypal, that will be a lot of money lost through paypal fees).



hmmmm black hubs, silver spokes, black rim could work, there is enough black dotted around the rest of the bike

whilst black hub & rim with silver spokes looks OK, I'm concerned the deep section black rims might make it a little too "nickable" for a uni bike. I'd go for the 30mm.... just a bit less bling?.
