I thought you wanted the new capo.
Wouldn't be a problem if you don't plan on doing/ never intended to do tricks. Additional hand positions are always a plus with bullhorns over risers.

FGFS forks really only look right with riser bars, but you can do whatever you want. Bullhorn bars are fun

Black rim, silver hub; what should I do about spoke/ nipple color? i.e. black nipples/ silver spokes OR silver nipples/ black spokes?

Although I like coloured nipples. Gold ones usually. But that's just me being flamboyant.
Edit: Bladed spokes too, mostly for looks but I assume theres some "aero" benefit there as well.
