I thought green and black would do an understated look. I even managed to get black spokes (at 97% discount!!!) Should possibly have had a black chainset too, but cost was a factor, and I had the chance to get my preferred Stronglight.
I haven't done more than ride up and down the road yet, but tomorrow I'm back to commuting.
Having clearance for winter tyres is one of the aims of building this. I'll probably run a second set of wheels for better weather.
