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

Colored Derailleur Pulleys - Exist?

I've seen alot of red, and alot of anodized mtb pulleys. Do they make any other colors? I'm looking for yellow, or partially yellow for a show-esque look on a build. Any help is greatly appreciated

Manufacturers use anodizing because it doesn't chip like paint... So I don't think you'll have much luck finding yellow-yellow pulleys.
I would just paint it...
Not mine, but that's what it looks like IRL.

Am I completely imagining that Tacx makes (made?) coloured plastic ones?
