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

OCP Advice needed. Which wheels?
This is my bike. I want to put Ksyrium SL Wheels on it but I can't envision it with silver spokes. Would they look better than black spokes?

Silver spokes: they'd compliment your drive train.

Black spokes rock. Get rid of the colored tires while your at it.

I know I know..

I just bought them for my old bike and hated to waste a new set or Pro2Races. They looked great on my old bike however. Oh yeah.... I wear khaki shorts and black socks when I ride.

I'm a fan of silver wheels, but I think black would look good on yours.
