The Campy is really nice. It will give some contrast to the black frame. Was thinking some shiny chrome wheels too.

I do not believe the Omnomnomnoms use a proprietary chainring it is a standard 144bcd but from what I have seen I haven't really seen any ScRAM chainrings available separately. Though the fine folks at Sugino have you covered with plenty of chainrings in different levels and coatings and such and there are others offering 144 bcd chainrings. I would also highly recommend Wolf Tooth chainring bolts as they use dual hex heads and come in different colors. I was going to do them on my new Langster as I have done on many of my bikes but saw the Sugino 75 bolts and they looked so nice but I could swap the backs for the Wolf Tooth and use those backs for the fronts on something else. However I don't really change chainrings much and have the chainring nut tool

Try the 28s if you can. Sometimes frame and component manufacturers mention lower stuff because of the wide variety of tires and rims so they won't get in trouble.
