Bros,

I'm looking for some styling advice.
My new steel frame is below. Metallic Blue --> Gray fade.
I'm building it with SRAM Force, 3T Pro (white stripe) fork/bars/post/stem, and de-stickered Fulcrum Racing Zero wheels.
The goal was all-black components.

The only aesthetic issue is headset/BB color. I'm obsessing about it, but this is the thread for it.

The BB is italian threaded - SRAM's only italian BB is silver.
Chris King's Silver doesn't match SRAM's silver.
Chris King's Black headset wouldn't match the BB.
Chris King's Blue doesn't match the blue of the frame, but it might look good.
I was thinking about going with one of their Pink headsets, since two women in my life recently dealt with breast cancer, but i don't know.

Any opinions?

Hot frame.

If you're stuck with a silver bb don't let it dictate your other choices because, well... it's a bb. Not exactly very visible.

I have a frame with a similar color scheme, and this is the route I went (you may have seen this already from the previous pages of this thread):

I think silver headset / seatpost / stem, with either a silver or black crankset, would work well.

How about a Deda Zero100 seatpost and stem in "dark metal polish" then, with a pewter CK headset?

ah yea, i get you, but:

i already have the stem and bars - 3T Pro. so i thought I could get a nice look going with all 3T pro (black with white stripe) components.

also, again, CK Pewter = purple

Thank you.

i would post a picture with the "old" black wheels but photobucket is down. The new silver wheels (tubular) are not laced up yet. I've been putting it off because I had a stock of clincher tires to go through.

edit: photobucket is back up. Here she is with the wheel and saddle that are not on the other bike.

It is not bad, but it is not hot. You get an A+ for trying to bring him to the right side, though.

Now that Tommasini has enough style points and chrome bling to make it hot, although I confess I hate the gum walls. Yuck. With some black tires or even gray and I think it would get a 'hot' from me.
