So you were going for all silver but changed out for black? Except for the wheels?
The rear hub on the old wheels was totally gone (combination of neglect, miles etc), didn't make sense to service or to replace the hub, went for a brand new set of Mavic cosmos at a huge discount.
I wanted a handlebar that would get me level with my saddle for a nice upright position, unfortunately, the bar came in black.
if you notice, the salsa cromoto stem was in the first picture, I wanted to get it chromed but decided it was an uneccessary expense and since the bar was black, i just left it as it is.
the post was another spare that i had, and since it was going the all black way, i decided to swap out the previous post.
the brooks was a hack job from the B17 I had, it looks nicer now innit?
