I have an old caad2 I am building up (again). it currently has an old 8 speed 105 group (all silver group, silver rim/spoke wheels) and is getting sram rival (all black) with a carbon force crank and my old aksium wheelset (all black).

I for one am kind of tired of all the silver. I have an optimo with 7800 and think the crank is the the worst (aesthetically) part of the bike

Lookin' good! How do you like it?

I really like it so far. The handling is quicker than my tommasini but the ride isn't quite a smooth. They balance each other out nicely.
