Haven't updated in a while as I was waiting to get my hubs to Rob. I ordered them in Acid Green which I thought was the same as the Frog Green available in the US... Turns out it isn't! Kudos to Rob for advising me to hold out on paint until he had a chance to see the hubs first hand (that's a sample in the pic). Now to find the right colour headset.
He's since built my wheels. Enve 4.5 clinchers on Tune Mig/Mags in Acid Green.

Rob is a man who knows not to assume I am sure like everyone he learnt that the hard way. Is the bike going to have the same colour on the frame. If so nice. Strong colours always look good.
According to Tune the headset and hubs are the same colour and the variation is just part of the anodizing process. Ordered another Bobo headset from the place I bought the hubs in the hoops that the colour is closer.
Wheels came in at 1430g w/rim tape which in pretty happy about.

Yeah you could say I'm pretty excited to see this one finished up...
So I had the new headset sent over and it's exactly the same colour as the old one. Spoken to Tune and they've said all their headsets are the same and don't match the hubs do to the anodizing process. They also told me to go with black which I found annoying. So now I have Enve's laced to the hubs with the green I like and two headsets of a slightly different green. Absolutely no idea what to do at this point which is beyond frustrating. Had I known the greens wouldn't match ahead of time I would have gone a different way but now I'm just at a loss.
