black looks beautiful!
however the seller gave me a black rear wheel as well, is it hard to swap? as it has only one arm...

Couldn't be easier swapping the wheel mate just put the bike on the paddock stand, take the split pin out undo the wheel nut and pull the wheel out, then put the new one on making sure the teeth slot into the right gaps, do the nut up, put a new split pin in though you can probably use the old one if not and bobs ur uncle! Hope this helps.

graphite grey are niiiiice! paint the front ones white is a very good suggestion, thats exactly what I was thinking. but would that be hard to operate then? with all the discs and calipers?
