Nice! I always liked black components (unless it is a truly vintage bike).

I wish I could test it out with the 8 speed hub. Been thinking of more gears but also thinking maybe getting a 5 speed with nine spline and do a 5x2. It would be important to get a light der or chain tensioner for the two speed or I could just as well go with the all in one 8 (or more) speed hub. In my stable the Curve is the light bike so making it just as heavy as the others makes no sense.

I have been looking at the lighter seatposts for mine too. I fear that my old seatpost pump is going to drop down (again) when I ride it.
