Black has more going for it than you think, tinterweb says so....

Black is associated with power, fear, mystery, strength, authority, elegance, formality, death, evil, and aggression, authority, rebellion, and sophistication. Black is required for all other colours to have depth and variation of hue....without black you have nothing

The black is the absence of colour. Black is a mysterious colour that is typically associated with the unknown or the negative. The colour black represents strength, seriousness, power, and authority. Black is a formal, elegant, and prestigious colour. Authoritative and powerful, the colour black can evoke strong emotions and too much black can be overwhelming.

In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief. The colour black can be serious, professional, and conventional, but black can also represent the mysterious, sexy, and sophisticated. Black is a visually slimming colour for clothing and like other dark colours, in interior design, black can make a room appear to shrink in size.


The colour black affects the mind and body by helping to create an inconspicuous feeling, boosting confidence in appearance, increasing the sense of potential and possibility, or producing feelings of emptiness, gloom, or sadness.

In western countries black is the colour of mourning, death, and sadness. Black often represents the emotions and actions of rebellion in teenagers and youth. The colour black can represent both the positive and the negative. As the opposite of white, movies, books, print media, and television typically depict the good guy in white and the bad guy in black. In more recent times, the good guy is shown in black to create mystery around the character’s identity.



its also the default colour for Goths and MIB !

Don’t let jimmy be an emu! Or a goff.

@jimmy: fantastic work so far. Get your dad to spray it a unique colour of your choosing. Subaru metallic blue rear frame up against silver with black bits and contrasting decals perhaps?

:) coming along nicely. You can save a lot of weight with the right wheel/tyre/tube combo, cassette too, if thats what your going for.

And it appears someone has a lot of spare time at the moment, what with designing weight charts and researching colours :shock: :LOL:

I'm not really going for a lightweight build, just thought it would be interesting to compare the mixed bag of bits and bobs that Splatter put together for MM19 with a reputedly top line group set, so far there hasn’t been any great surprises accept for maybe some stuff not really yielding much weight....And yes, Spud does seem to be less rushed at work at the moment....

Ok Spud, get ready with your calculator……

Out, the LX front hub on Mavic at 810g

In, an XTR M950 front hub at 135g on a NOS Campagnolo ATEK rim at 412g + 32 DB spokes & nips at 207g. Subtotal 754g


Out, the Parallax rear hub & wheel at 1006g

In, an XTR M950 rear hub at 312g + ATEK & spokes at 412g + 207g. Subtotal 931g
