Default help me "green" my ride
no, not as in environmentaly friendly, tree hugging, prius driving, fart sniffing....

so, I'm finally building up the evil machine that sits behind the headbadge in my avatar and I'm going green with the accessory color (how shallow!)

what I got so far:
green king hubs
green headset
green bar end plugs (The Path bling)
green skewers (well, attempting to find some salsas)

where else should I go here?

green Ergon Grips?
green pedals? they arent easy to come by- crank bros has their candy ti's, but I'm too big a boy to swing those. 185 lbs? hmm. havent seen that in about 10 years...it is a geared bike though, so maybe i just keep some replacement steel spindles handy....

any other suggestions?

i really wanted to do some green accessory bits on Hope brakes (brake levers, rotors, caliper piston covers) but the companies online that have these green bits aren't showing green as an option anymore.

For the Hope stuff check with Larry at Mountain High Cyclery. I believe he can order them with green caps, etc.

Does Dangerboy make green brake levers?

After a little looking I came across this: '07 Mono Mini carbon lever with green graphics and Ti bolt kit. Subtle yet bling

Cuz if you crash in the tall grass you'll never find your rig!

I've got an idea for a full-face helmet to match that green bike....

the WORST part is that I'm actually in the environmental industry and I've never seen any group go thru more paper in my life....well, maybe not as much as lawyers (now who'd I pi$$ off )
