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

Building a bike with a White Fork

I'd like to build a spare roadie based on a Bianchi Luna white carbon fork that I have laying around. It's actually a white/silver color. A pic below might help you visualize the color.

I'll need a frame to go with it, but I'm having trouble deciding on one? White, black, silver, British racing green? Not quite sure yet.

Some of the items in the parts bin include: Chris King headset (silver), Ultegra and Centaur 53/39 cranksets (silver), Centaur front derailleur, D/A rear derailleur, various Shimano and Campy compatible wheels that can double duty between bikes.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Those forks are sharp. A white bike,set-up just so would have character, other colors would be fine. The stand-out, the green, that rich color green especially .

Good, we got the token sarcastic, non-helpful comment out of the way early this time.
