Silver or Black 5800 Chainset?

[kiwifruit]

What do you people like silver or black? Am looking for a new crankset for my Canyon, at the moment I got the black and done about 7500 miles. I like the black and it cost about £90 and I can get a silver ones at £62 both 50/34. So what would you buy?

Any colour other than black, and that goes for the bike frame too

30% cheaper - definitely the silver

Depends what the rest of the groupset is, it'll look a bit weird if it's black and you pair it with a silver chainset (and vice-versa).

Of course the right answer is black

Silver. Goes with anything and doesn't look agricultural like black does.

Blackwears down to silver in places, after a couple ofmonths. Silver looks better and remains silver.

Except a black mech.

Don't you have to spend £99 to get the discount? And doesn't look like the 50-3 is £60

Both valid points. I was looking at the 52-36, A’s that’s what I bought. My mistake.

As for the £99 spend, they will surely be buying a new chain at the same time, so no biggie there.
