No there aditional parts unfortunatly Hope dont as standard sell the anodised parts you have to buy them seperate but it was worth it to me because it finnished the look ot the bike!

But the build is very nice indeed. What levers are they, they look comfy!
The idea with the red was to use bits just here and ther and trying to keep a theme...but it always going to be a personal choice ...I'm just glad the days of Purple are gone
The levers are Dangerboy's there is a little story there I was going to buy them from the UK imprters Freeborn they said it would take 6-8weeks and cost me £55 +postage
....so I orderd them from the US Paid £48inc Delivery and got em 9 days later

A lot
..I would have used red nipples but the shop selling them only do silver alloy which is what the are. To have got red nipples would have ment buying elsewere and costing £180.oo so u see why i made with silver.. lol!
I love USE seatpost I have them on 3 other bikes but wanted to have the same carbon finnish as the bars and stem.
