My FTW (the first one) is backyard pool blue with black parts and gold ilink cable housing. My Gunnar Roadie was light blue with black parts and silver fenders It definitely works ---

> [@LASER\_BEIGE](#): > > Can one mix silver and black parts successfully? Yes. Depends which combo of parts. In general on a light colored frame OK: Silver crankarms w/ black rings. Silver hubs and spokes with black rims. Silver seatpost with black collar. Silver stem and bars with black headset. Not OK: Black rims with a silver rim-brake track. Use carbon rims, ceramic brake track, or disc brakes if you are using black rims. Silver crank+rings w/ an all-black dangler. Black seatpost with silver collar. Black cranks with silver rings. Advanced ok: Black headset, silver stem, black bars. + matchy accent color tape, hoods, saddle. Careful with: Polished stainless steel, chromed steel, polished aluminum, clear anodized aluminum, satin aluminum are all silver but try not to mix them too much on the same bike, or at least keep them separated by other components or the frame. ---

So far it’s looking like this maybe Blue Frame Paint match stem Silver headset and spacer ??? Bartape Silver seatpost, brown saddle Black crank, spider and rings Black pusher and dangler Black hubs and rims, silver spokes Tan wall tires Silver fenders with a pinstripe or maybe paint match ---

Scratch the paint match for stem and rims and you’re cooking up something good ---

What was that pinstripe about? I mighta misread it. I think a good light blue frame can take a real mix of silver and black parts. That dull dark gray shimano was using c.6800 looks bad though ---

What brakes? Rotors? Bartape and bottle cages to match logo color on frame. ---

For your consideration Light blue frame with silver and black and grey parts It violates several of Jimmy’s dos and donts but here it is ![IMG_20220804_084617339](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/e/d/edd08e4bf129c671d1d3965c29da7fb1c208ad6a.jpeg) ---

i believe one of the jimmy rules is that the rules dont matter if it gets ridden as much as that one. [Previous page](https://tarck.cc/t/mig-muses-on-2-wheels/21765.md?page=41) [Next page](https://tarck.cc/t/mig-muses-on-2-wheels/21765.md?page=43)
