I agree with David, nice selections and very neutral overall, which I think
is a great thing. All in balance, as you say, with the paint. Nice!

Garth is correct – Selle Italia SLR, one of the later models, 135 grams, no

If you zoom into the photo you can see at the rear of the saddle the

Yes Jason, the crankset is a Rene Herse. And thanks for the compliment on
the build.

Such beauty! I have been waiting for what feels like an eternity to enter
the conversation with my Riv Road Custom "Blue Panda." I was waiting on the
last part I needed and that is the silver/black panda MKS pedals that
arrived today! These are the first pics, in my filthy garage. I'll get her

Christ,
I love the black and cream frame choice. FWIW, I think David's Sam looks
fantastic with the silver cranks -- are they Rene Herse? -- and the black
rims.

Thanks, Eric, for kicking off this thread and to everyone who responded! I
put down a deposit for a Roadeo over the summer and have decided to go with
black and cream for the frame. These images are really helping me visualize
my options when it comes to the build.

The less black the better, on my bicycles. But I'll tolerate
painted/anodized black more than dull "silver" painted parts, which just
look awful next to polished aluminum and steel bits. Two examples, on my
new ride, are the Surly Singleator and front brake stay. And yes, the

For me, whether or not black components work on a bike depends a lot on the
frame color.

Nice Roadini, Bones. I'm becoming very partial to black rims with machined
(silver) sidewalls.

Not a Rivendell but here’s my Kelly Roshambo (now with black pedals). The bike
itself is kind of a coffee bean color.

Maybe Bill Lindsay will show his Amethyst Smoke Legolas with black
components. I love that bike and the build he chose for it. (I love most of
Bill's bikes and the builds he chooses for them.)

I wish I had a better pic of this, I bet someone does. But this Platypus built
by Crust “lives rent free in my mind”, as the kids say.

I'm pretty sure that I dislike black components on bikes. Oh, I can handle
a black derailer or some brakes, I guess. But all black stem, bars,
seatpost, crank, etc is, I'm thinking, not my cup of tea. I'm more of a
decaf espresso type.
