Nothing too crazy but something not all black I'm considering pewter Chris king r45 hubs. Anyone seen these in person who could comment how well they would match my frame. Thinking it would go well with the grey accent colors on my frame Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Attachments: ImageUploadedByTapatalk HD1360721336.510154.jpg [ 113.7 KiB | Viewed 2982 times ]

BB, seatpost clamp, headset if fits. Hope also has components in "gunmetal" (seatpost clamp etc) Maybe even combine with Planet X calipers in "gunmetal" for a "metal" look on a carbon bike. Would be quite something. _________________ Bikes: Raw Ti, 650b flatbar CX Last edited by HillRPete on Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:19 pm, edited 1 time in total.

On my 2011 Scott Addict R1 the color looks the same. _________________ Let's finish the ride with a 20% grade. 2011 Scott Addict R1 DA 7900 Matt black 2013 Cannondale EVO Hi mod DA 9000

I think the CK pewter would look nice on this build. Just a warming as you may already know but anodizing between companies can be very different. The Planet X brakes have a slight greenish tint to them. If you are super OCD it will bother you.

It seems the older SRAM Force colourway (brakes in particular) has a similar tone, but hard to tell from pics. Could anyone who has seen it in person weigh in? (Edit: oh, you mention that above) PS: Deda used to have a "dark metal polish" finish a few years ago, parts are still floating around. _________________ Bikes: Raw Ti, 650b flatbar CX
