They say its green..   but I mean for my bike!

It's one of those brown Pitch Pro's.  It's got black bits, hope pro II's etc.  but I was thinking maybe a splash of red in the headset and/or bottom bracket might give it a nicer look?  I already have the SRAM with red spider on the rear and there is already the odd red tinge on graphics etc.

What say you?

It's no different to an HTII & provides ease of maintenance - hence the 5 year warranty.

It's a bike, not a manbag.
