I was thinking of suggesting red or yellow chainrings, but I'm pretty sure you'd have to paint those yourself.
I always liked the idea of the white gruppo. Had thought it would look especially sharp on a black, white, gray or certain metallic frames. I also have been wistful that there seem to be so few of them. Have only heard good things about their performance.
