Should I black cranks+silver chain, or Silver cranks+black chain?
Black tires are in already, just waiting for wheels to get here. Pedals will be black/silver.

Thirded. I've had people ask me why I put such a cheap saddle on a nice bike, and the answer is always that it's comfortable and looks good. Why spend more money when this one works great?

490 grams!!??!!??
Velocity A23, Aerohead, and Fusion are all lighter than that and cost less.
I'll admit, I'd hit it based on looks but I'd just as soon pick up a set of Araya Golds even though they're t00bular.

The badge weighs 70g.
In comparison, Velo Orange's 22mm wide Raid rim weighs 530g.
