He didn’t consult :bear: regarding frame and fork choices so all we can say is put the damn thing together and ride it until he realizes that something needs to be changed.

And don’t be stupid.

Or the deliberate lack of it. I realized today that I inadvertently matchy-matched my tape with my grey/silver 105 chainrings.

i love matchy matchy. just be subtle with it.
I like when everything is pretty much black or silver and two or three things match.
Also aesthetics is personal, ignore what people say, build something you can fall in love with and not impress snobs or hipsters with. If you have good taste people will drool if not, i guess you just don’t have it.

Also aesthetics is objective, ignore what people say, build something with black and silver and not impress snobs or hipsters with. If you have good taste people will drool if not, i guess you just don’t have it, it won’t matter anyway coz black and silver. The only color should be the frame.[/quote]
