To be fair, someone else first suggested these wheels. I just convinced the sci guy to buy them!

So I decided to go with yellow - and tried to match the colors to the yellow Cannondale decals on the frame.
Cable housing matched pretty ok


Tire color splash matched pretty good too


And the match between the housing & the tires was also pretty good

Instead, I ordered some Supacaz multi-color cages from eBay.

Very nice! I am almost ashamed of my Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels with the blue hubs and nipples that do not match any part of the frame, and the boring black Continental tires already mounted. As for cables, I am only trying to determine whether the coated cable and housings are worth the costs given they run externally on the frame.
