The color choice is probably good as you will need to buy a fork off the shelve and that will come in black most likely unless you decide to paint the fork as well.<br />Powder coating adds thicker layers of paint to the frame compared with spray painting. In particular the corners look somehow more modern and organic. I prefer the spray paint finish, however powder coating is more robust and that is probably what you need for a cross bike.<br /><br />The speedhub .. are you refering to the Rohloff speed hub? <br /><br />http://www.rohloff.de/en/products/speedhub/<br /><br />THis thing is bllody amazing and I would love to built up a bike around it. The only two things that prevent me from doing so is the price which is at least 80.000 Yen and the fact that you cannot connect it to STI levers.<br /><br />http://www.rohloff.de/en/products/speedhub/twist_shifter/index.html<br /><br />As for the Schmidt Son Edelux light I believe that many arty people like it because it looks like the lens of an old German analog Camera, say Zeiss or Leica. <br /><br />But it surely looks good.mobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740078823008165116noreply@blogger.com
