The reason why I said Silver Ritchey is because of the Silver that Serotta and the other logos are on the frame. And being Ritchey the logos themselves are subdued and clean. Monochromatic always goes well together. Gives it that refined look. Will also make the Silver Logos pop more on the frame.

Can’t go wrong on the Ritchey components. Among the best in reliability/durability.

But if Ritchey smokes yer shorts, by all means go for it.
Time will tell on the newer stuff. As for alloy vs. carbon, SRAM/Zipp has more quality issues than most competitors with both.

‘Happy Days and the Fonz or something’. Someone is watching too many reruns.

You already solved the build question, the rest doesn't matter

Initial plan was alloy build but then I bought the wheels off the SV being sold here and we then worked out a deal for the groupset that was too good to pass up. The Campy Record and wheels are a nice fit, much better than alloy....now I have to go find a frameset for the Campy 10
