Title: Decisions decisions - with my history of wanting a Nut Brown frame ?
Post by: McCabe-Thiele (Ted) on September 20, 2023, 04:22:14 PM
In the next couple of weeks I plan to drop my 500 wheel hubs off at CWS to have a pair of wheels built - Ceracote hub finish with SS spokes most likely Valanced alloy rims. 
Rims will be Front 1.85x19, Rear 2.15x18.                        .

My frame is matt black, the tank & side panels are now gloss  black so not sure what colour if any to have my alloy rims anodised.

My original plan was to go for gold as per my 400 but I've started to think black might be a better alternative.

Any words of wisdom for what finish to choose - saleabilty/resale is not in my equation ?

I would go silver or just have them polished Ted. Black rims with a black frame and tank may be a bit of overkill on the black! Some RE 650 Interceptors have alloy rims with black tank and frame and they look really nice.
Just my own thoughts.

So Dave Silver rather than Gold.....too bling in Gold?

What colour are the hubs Ted ?

I think gold would look good on the rims.

Hubs will most likely be powder coated or ceracote in chrome effect  silver.

I might stick with my signature Gold.😁😁😁
