I thought about getting some green cages, but I hate the way alu puts marks on my bottles, so I've stuck with stainless there. I'm thinking about some green anodized chainring bolts and crank caps, but I think the originals are Teledyne or Syncros titanium, so I just don't know if I can justify it. I ordered some green anodized toe clips from a sketchy seller on Ebay, but they never came and I had to switch to ATAC-style pedals to help my knee pain. Maybe I'll buy some green anodized cable housing ferrules to make myself feel better

...Or just make my own ano bath and dye setup. The Vitus equivalent of Italianate pantographing! How hard do you think that might be!
