This braking system allows you to have powder coated rims, protected brakes from the weather and your rims will not get dirty with brake pad goo:) and all topped off with Cream colored Schwalbe 700 x 35mm tires.
Tires can be cream or black.
The saddle can be brown or black.
Racks and stem are always black.
Color choices…can be very difficult. I have done my best to show the colors, but the color charts are not very accurate and the color tubes I painted are still not very close with your computer monitor…it might best to just give me an idea and let me make the choice. A note on the color chart is that almost all of the colors come out much brighter than the chart [especially the yellow, oranges and reds].
Some people like everything the same color…some like a contrasting color on the rims or a rim colors that compliments the frame color…have fun with your bike:)
I would be happy to build you one of these bicycles and can help you with finding the right size.
