Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Curious how this would look. All black wheels, even the spokes on a silver bike. I'm toying around with an idea of a bike build.

i like the idea of a silver frame and EVERYTHING else black. (silver spokes with black rims/hubs would be cool too)

I think this might be my new bike. I'm pricing out what it could cost me to build this up, with some new some used gear, and I wanted to see how it might look with all black wheels. Would look nice, and with red accented tires it owuld look kick ass.
