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

Very nice!

I didn't realize you were making your own brakes nowadays too. Cool.

So ... silver rims or black rims?

I see both in pictures here, and am trying to decide what to put with my new titanium frame.

I also have a Ti bike with black rims. I think the black looks great. But, that bike gets handled very carefully and only by me. I have touched up the black finish anyway in a couple of places with black nail polish.
I have the early Kysiriums that are black. If they do get scratched, the silver aluminum shows up where the scratch is. The silver wheels stay silver if the clear anodizing is scratched off. Even black spokes can be scratched from locking the bike or normal handling. If you're going to use it as much as you did Machak the silver rims will look better longer. Even changing a tire could scratch the black off.

I think black rims and spokes look great, but look fugly if they're all scratched up.

Here are my black Ksyriums from only a few years back, and the braking surfaces were sanded by the factory to provide better braking. This has been the norm nowadays in the Ksyrium line-up as far as I know.

Very very nice! The Lynskey XL size doesn't appear at all disproportioned as some larger frames from other makes.

ViperZ takes great pics. Unfortunately, he hasn't been around for a while.

That is LAVA HOT!

Appears to be an older Moots frame with modern day gearing? Are those Lightweights too?

And looks to be about a size 50?
