title says it all, i have a Campagnolo Graphite groupset from an abandoned build lying around, thinking about throwing it on a lugged steel frame. I still do have the choice of color, but which?
What makes those dark grey parts look good?

Which color bike would look good with (these) Campagnolo parts? Why any color of any bike, of course...:)

nice but too new, i need shifter bosses :) love the red Pog btw!

i may use this frame which is currently set up as road fixie - branded "Learco Guerra", built with something almost entirely not unlike Max, badly in need of a respray anyway
