Decisions, Decisions....Classic or Modern.....What Do the Old Coots Think
I recently bought a 2010 Raleigh Record Ace frame in white. As it is, I have enough components to build it up with classic silver pedals, stem, handlebars, seatpost and brakes or white pedals, stem, handlebars and seatpost with black brakes. The wheels are plain black campy wheels.
Thoughts, opinions? You might as well chime in on this one or I'll just have a couple shots of moonshine and flip a coin.
My wife says I should not worry about it since I can change it whenever I want to.

When in doubt listen to your wife.
That way, even if your decision turns out to be really stupid, at least you don't have to listen to her say "I told you so."

Sounds like we're stuffing envelopes, here. Are you happy about your purchase?
