In about a month or eight weeks I'm going to be getting a new wheelset
built. I'm planning to go with green Chris King hubs and I'm
wondering if anyone knows are there any quality manufacturers out
there that do colored spokes (like green) and also soliciting rim
suggestions. It will be for a titanium race bike with mostly Ultegra.

theory, but it should work. if you build your own wheel you can do it
a a minimum of cost. you could also build a miniature prototype (e.g.
painted toothpicks and a rapidly rotating disk). you might get a
green fade as the spokes go from the hub to the rim. though each
radii would the same speed to distance traveled relationship, the eyes
might perceive a difference.

Primo makes spokes in yellow, blue, black, red and white.
you could try alternating yellow and blue. that could be really
cool. your bike coordinates itself as you go faster.

Probably the best. That or plain black. I was just hoping for the
existence of something cool and colored that was also high on the
functional scale.

Actually they'll mostly manage to not care about my color scheme since
the hubs are going to cost more than most of them can even imagine
spending on multiple complete bikes.
The cyclists, however, they're mostly going too be drooling about my
having a custom frame. And in context of the frame they're really not
giving especially much of a damn about my purchasing something that,
gosh, at least four or five people in the province already have.
It isn't that I'm specifically trying to one up people on the flash
bling scale but I have a slightly wider range of shopping resources
than anyone short of the bike shop manager, the Shimano rep, or the
coach and, of the three, I think the bike shop manager is the only one
who actually has to pay money for his bling. Wang Yi's mom and dad
might be willing to drop 46,000rmb on a T-mobile team replica bike but
_I_ had the first pair of eggbeater pedals (nashbar special) and the
first Cannondale (secondhand).

I'm pretty certain I'll have a Chris King headset and matching hubs.
Other than that I can't be sure.
If I could find green spokes to go with green hubs and the already
mentioned green rim, the wheels would look very cool. Even if the
greens aren't quite the same greens the overwhelming green-ness would
make up for it.

If you could pull it off everyone in your neighborhood will be green
with envy. Maybe you should hire a consultant to make sure your well
coordinated. I struggled a long time deciding on nipple color to go
with black hub and rim, finally going all black, and lacking proper
contrast. rim/spoke/nipple colors with pewter hubs is esp hard, and
all silver with the blue hubs just doesn't look right, but that one
goes on the singletrack where no one sees it, thankfully. Picking
colors for ornate historical houses was easier.

What do you want to spend? If you're up for a small fortune for the
spokes, there are some called "Ti-Dyed" which are multi-colored Ti.

red firetrucks do not make sense do they? red is relatively invisible.
I was babbling before about going to the daytonah 24 du where I was
first overall grandstand.
there's a green/chartruese sports racer, also showed at Watkins. The
green paint job was first overall deep twilight visibilty under the
lights while the yellows were best sunsetting no stadium light effect
with orange a distant turd during twilight.
here, i have on occasion, leaned the bike and walked out into the four
lane to hold or halt or direct traffic for ambulance/rescue/fire.
as the old folk are mostly pertified of the ahhhooogah rack rack rack
ahoooogah and freeze solid having enough to do getting into the merc
and starting it wihtou slaloming thru an intersection to yield.
possible the rational for continuing with red as green ??? whazzit ???
manatee is bedroom tampa. very nice. very stuffy on the prole level.
you would be welcomed back fersure. the sunlight is always equisitly
bright when i go thru there. bleached. very 5-0.

The theory is that fluoroscene in the paint job makes
the large truck with air-horn, siren and Xenon strobe
lights _more_ noticable. In practice it is impossible
to penetrate the defenses of the typical oblivious and
invincibly ignorant car driver.

take the rims over to ura paint shop or try it yourself. surface prep
is wiping with clean cloth, wiping with new clean cloth, 5-6 times.
outside off course, upwind, wearing gloves. thinner then CHO then

keep in mind that powdercoated rims are heavier by about 15g. not
