@1415chris - the Ridea stuff I got from Rakuten Japan. They also sell them on Yahoo auction Japan. Ridea makes a full aero version which would look great on a TT bike

@Poynt - the Lightning cups are aluminum. The delrin Tune cups look interesting. And the lightest option. 66 grams is light!

I've got the same Lightning BB being delivered too. I'll take a small weight penalty for aluminium cups over the plastic Tune one. Just happy to save 30g over the THM BB, even though it is a good design.

@4ibanez - 30 grams is a massive weight savings to guys like you and I. It is called Weightweenie disease.

Oh, nice! Thanks @spdntrxi and @KCookie

Back to the topic .. the shades of pink are different? - "Light pink" for bolts, cable/housing ... and "hot pink" for chain, brakes, RD extender..
Are you going to leave it as it is? - sorry if I skiped this explanation in some post

I was going with all pastel pink. I realized the chain was hot pink after I bought it and saw it in person. I believe an all silver chain would look better. KMC does make a silver and pastel pink chain called the pink lady chain but it is a 10s chain and I am not sure if it will work with a 11 speed cassette.

I also am now off plan with the pastel pink because the special edition pink EE brakes are hot pink like the chain. I did want to try something different with the decals and use both pastel and hot pink lettering. “L and S” in hot pink and “ITEPEED” in pastel pink.

Too much pink will make the bike look cluttered and I have gone a little overboard with the pink S##t. I need to stop going online like my wife.

A sub 300 gram crankset that is 130 traditional BCD. Looks much nicer without the decals. Notice the weight? The weightweenie in me is still there and I kept sanding until I was under 300 grams. I am such a loser.
