What color should I go with for my new anodized rims/spokes/nipples?
Going to build some wheels up for the sake of a dynamo hub up front. I’ll probably also change the gearing and do a 1x. The hubs will still be black and I’m sticking with the tan wall tires for now.
Thanks!

I’d stick with black, you have a cool subtle color scheme going on and anything anodised is gonna clash a lot. Maybe get orange valves but that’s the most I’d do.
The current black rims look good by not distracting from the frame/saddle/bar-tape combination. I would leave it as-is.
If you want to lean more into the vintage vibe, silver would be fine… but then it would draw attention to the rest of the modern-black components (eg. drivetrain, seatpost, stem, etc.) that would be silver in a vintage/simulated-vintage aesthetic build.
