Ahoy, I am finally going to be getting myself a pair of hand built wheels. They will be for the road and daily training/riding wheels. The build will be the following.
Hubs: i9 Torch Classic Road
Rims: HED Belgium
Spokes: Sapim Laser black
Nips: Brass black
24F/28R 2X around
I'm 25, 6'1'', 165 lbs CAT 3 racer
My question is hub color:
Do I go Green Ano to match the bike (BH listed in my signature)
Black to play it safe and look good with any bike i swap them too.
Or any other color, blue, orange, purple, pink, turquoise to give it that funky look.
My frame has dark forest green in it, and I've got some KCNC anodized green parts already on it (brakes, headset cap, bottle bolts)

If you like to bling it more and wish for something other than green, you can use Jagwire Elite shift and brake kits in gold or red, gold or red hubs and a KMC X11SL gold chain or the more expensive X11SL DLC in black/red. You can also change pulley wheels to matching colour.

I never liked anodized bling. Reminds me of the mtb scene of the 90s.
