Colored rims

[zzy]

Colored rims were defly a late 90s-mid 00s thing which bled over into track bikes later, but I think it's fun. Just don't go too far with it. The trouble is that anno never quite matches paint.

If you're not riding colorful deeeeeep v rims, you're doing something wrong

Blue (not celeste) Bianchi ELOS.

Never been a fan myself but I can see the appeal for some people.

Gold Shamals are the, um, gold standard of colored rims.

They go well with any colorway.

I seem to remember liking the tangerine CODA / Mavic wheelset that came on s2000s or some other such thing. High visibility indeed.

Wow -- that's a very nice look. I always felt my red Mavic Heliums looked a little odd with the harlequin paint on my Serotta.

as long as you have no other parts that are blue ano I think it could work. Ano rims need to be used carefully.

Cannondale had a bunch of different colored Mavic rims circa 2000. Gold CXP30s in 1998 and 1999, Mango (tangerine) and blue in 2000 and
2001, some other colors on the MTBs. I have the gold 30s on a '98 Silk Road. They look fine on a white bike, but I wish the frame had the Kameleon paint.

They aren't that blue. Go for it. Could look great w/ Celeste.

Didn't your brake pads match your paint color when you were running the Reynolds wheels in the English??

The Cannondale wheels with matched rim, DT hubs were top shelf.

Looks pretty good to me.

^^ Yes, that's nicely done. Tasteful. Throw on some blue bar tape (or blue/white splash...gag) and she's likely going to be ruined IMO.

I might swap out those Deltas for some Cobaltos. Sure...like now I'm dreaming...
