Title: Current status of my build
Post by: supra_DT on February 19, 2007, 03:39 AM

Hi guys,

Attached pics show the current status of my very first build.  Waiting for the stem to arrive so I can finally get the handle bars on and connect the brake cables.

As you can see in the pics the blue ACS z rims I got don't seem to compliment the color theme IMO.  I really wanted them to be baby blue but I think the only way I can get them to work is to dye them a blue similar to the pedals/chainwheel?    My other thought was to sell them and find a set of white z rims instead.  What do you guys think?

All feedback is welcome

Danny

Thanks for the feedback fellas.

Reason I went with the s post is that I'm a tall guy (6'4" tall) and wanted the extra space.  I'm gonna order the same post in a standard layback as well (it's only $15 anyways). What do you guys think of putting a set of white spokes on the blue z's and mating them to the blue acs z hubs I have and matching blue spoke nipples?
