Archetype Colour Choices
Moderator: robbosmans
Does anyone have any photos of built wheels in the Grey or Silver options? I can only find photos of black rims built up online.
I am particularly interested in how they look with tyres and also once the brake tracks are worn.
Cheers

Until more thorough responses are gathered, this can help with a bit of imagination:

Not the best pic. But here's a snap of the front wheel on my commuter.
Rim have had about 6 months of use. The brake track just looks like any other rim when it's worn.

I bought Swiss Stop green pads and found that in the dry the ano on my black Archetypes remained virtually pristine for hundreds of miles. Then I rode them in the rain and most of the ano came off in about 10 minutes - no exaggeration.
I think if I were buying again I'd probably go grey, although I've not yet seen them in the flesh. They look like they'd age a bit more gracefully, and hopefully also show the dirt less than black.

The grey rim as a hint of green to it, like old school hard anodising.
