I am so stoked. I am under the impression that the Grand Mighty will clash....badly....that's the only reason I want the Black 75's. What do you guys think....standard Sugino ring...or Sugino Messenger? Black on Black of course.

The key is obviously to buy whatever high quality crank you like, and get it painted exactly like the frame (or just white if they can't match the funky paintjob).

If i went all silver parts I would get a Full DuraAce group...High Flange hubs, cranks, headset, jaguar stem, jaguar seatpost, Kashimax saddle, etc. If i went gold....which i think woudl be cool due to the gold glitter in the paint....then I'd gt the gold gruppo from Ben's. I'm sure I can talk him down in price 10%....I have bought from him before.

my lord....so that's what can happen when you finally say "price is no object". my "price is no object" bike would be completely different, but i assume that you've put alot of time and energy into this build, so you could probably care less about the naysayers. i think it will look incredible. you ARE going to post pics of the completed build yes?

Believe it or not, that actually makes tons of sense. We won't be racing in Japan anytome soon, may as well go all the way live.

Or just buy a full DA/nitto track group and get them custom anodized. Probably would end up costing you the same, plus you get +5 magic defense for complete NJS matching components, plus nobody else will have it.
edit: purple anodized. It would be the jazz.

Word! SOmeone...a while back had a full DuraAce group in Gold.....i forgot about that! That would be PRIME! lemme know if anyone remembers who it was and where! That'd be the HIT! DA cranks, hubs, headset...then a gold Nitto Stem and bars, and post...white saddle, purple Champs grips....oh man! I am getting randy! Gold Deep-V's 36 hole of course.
