I'm going to pick up my new bike today. So what's with the white stuff?

The silvery one on the right is actually the thumb shifter. Is that what you're looking at? They're SRAM, and slightly more awkward than the Shimano trigger shifters. The brake levers are on the front side of the bar. I guess they're black and hard to see.

Those are pretty grips. I was thinking of a lightish blue (going for the Siamese cat look) or lime green. The bike color is actually between silver and gold. It's called "brushed titanium" and is almost a metallic khaki color. I like it.
