A sartorial question…

Bling it!!!!

I love a bit of bling.

And its a five minute job to swap them if you get bored

Red. I have jagwire on my bikes and really rate them. Good cables.

Knowing you and your bike Charlie... go the whole hog... go red.
Have Jagwire cables on my VN and they are top notch cables.

Ooh. Just picked up the package from the post room at work. They are pretty, I have to say.
Red it is.
Hopefully the rebuild will be complete and road tested in time for Whitstable on Friday night.
Cheers, all!

I'll try not to ride anywhere near you. I'm afraid that my lime green bar tape may not go with your cables. Even in the dark.

Not much red on view when in normal use though.

Doesn't matter. If you coordinate your rimtape somehow people know, the information leaks out somewhere- perhaps in the rider's general bearing.

 

[CharlieB]

Ah. Bar tape. Haven't quite decided on that yet.

I recently bought the Celesté coloured Jagwire kit for my Bianchi. The bike is predominantly matte black but has some Celesté coloured pinstripes on top tube and finishing kit. Only swapped the brakes so far, but certainly looks way better than black. The key is not to overdo it I guess?

Don't go mad with the red.

Colnagos are about class - not bling. Coloured cables are about bling - not class.

Also agree that Jagwire stuff is not all it is cracked up to be.

Red is good, I went for these for the bling......................they're f&%$£"$g good wheels though

You chose them because they had red rim tape? There's a logical fail there somewhere...

Best wait until the florist delivers your handlebar bouquet, you wouldn't want to have a colour clash in your face all day

In reality the red flash on the logo stands out a lot more than in those photos.

true perfectionists worry more about the parts that cannot be seen compared to those that can be seen. Having said that - go with the black.

Aaah, Rovals. Designed by people who don't understand why double-butted spokes are double-butted. So, instead of a proper double-butt, they use a butted elbow-side and straight-gauge nipple side spoke. This guarantees frequent visits to the bike shop. Not even the nice red rim tape can redeem these wheels. It is a pity, 'cause the rim tape sure is nice.

I've never bent mine in a few thousand miles of riding. These guys all seem to rate them too.
