Im in the process of building a new bike and it will be dull laquered raw finish with white forks, rims, saddle and grips with black bits and gold highlights.

I think I may have overblinged on th gold

Gold hubs and nipples, headset, BB cups, seat QR, chain ring, handlebar, cranks have gold arms,lock on grips, linkages and droputs on frames, gold highlights to KS post, gold highlights to formula brakes, chain

what do you guys think...
