Good for you, it was the black spokes that threw me.

I toyed with stainless steel spokes but fancied something darker.

LOVE THIS. 8)

The Mavic groupset sets this off really nicely. Neon Pink on black to me is very much a colourway of the early Nineties.

Kudos for building your own wheels too..... Ive done the same for my Mavic build yet to be revealed!

Cheers

Man I really enjoyed this
And the bike looks superb with the Mavic group set!
I think the pink is the icing on the cake!

thanks chaps, I love the pink, and it is very bright too, harks me back to when my cousin and I would buy dayglow cables, grips, toeclips and derailleur protectors ...... really pimped up the raleighs on a budget :lol:

looking forward to the Mavic build "B'o'B" :D
