It would look much nicer with regular Meilenstein but it is too loud as it is.
Wow! Yeah, the frame is cool but I'd go all black at the extremities, including the saddle. And either all black Meilensteins (no white spokes) or Bora 50 Dark Labels. And I had a chuckle at @Prendrefeu's request for incremental paint weights, for each component no less. But it is WW, after all.

Frame looks fantastic . IMO the rest should be black /carbon including nude carbon forks. The deep section wheel do not suit the frame.
That could be any frame "if you get me"
I salute the frame

Looks like it should be hanging on a wall...
The wheels reminds me of giant Lifesavers.sedluk wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2016 2:38 pmI have several Rca bikes that I ride, a mix of 22mm/25mm tires, Standard and Compact shifting.
This one is for cruising around, I have the 25mm tires on for country roads. I have another set of wheels, Obermayer wheels with white spokes that I will also use but I had the Fernweg wheels painted to match the frame.
I have pretty much all the same components as my other Rca bikes. I go for light and reliable, not the lightest if not the most reliable.
I reused the handlebar stem combo that at one time I used on a Cervelo S5.
I had the Fernweg wheels and while they are nice, I was not putting a lot of miles on them. They also had some small dents in the side.
I had Toby at Hot Tubes clean up the wheels using his carbon repair skills and he also removed the extra holes in the frame that are for electronic shifting. Toby then painted the frame after getting permission from Dario Pegoretti who was the inspiration for this paint job.
With the Obermayer white spoke wheels the bike weighs 11.75 lbs / 5.3 kg

This one certainly leaves the impression. Although I very much like it don't know if would like to have it as an everyday bike.
In any case, for me looks better with white than black wheels, although I would prefer that the back triangle has got a bit of paint job instead above of head tube.
But great idea, nonetheless.
