I hear you on all black wheels but sadly the MSW is not gonna stay black for long so may go tan to soften the horror of silver side wall.
Only a silver rim will not show braking. FWIW silver brake-track front and black rear looks fine. After all bikes (and fixed bikes in particular) ≠ vertical symmetry in profile so chasing that is an affectation <<< controversial opinion <<<
Built the bike you’ll love riding the most ✊🏽 Form follows function. You have lovely frames to play with.

Looks like a gangsta designed by the Warhammer people.
This shit needs to feature on Gardener’s World yesterday.

Truly a cursed upload.

The white og Capo forks look nice. I prefer it with black wheels, no tan-walls.
Caad10 Track with the new fork looks fantastic.
You have a lot of bike-overlap :)

I’ve used the exact spray.bike combo on my precursa. Even the same flake colour.
Like you say it’s not a very hard/thin/glossy finish but (at least in my case) it’s fairly durable.

Perhaps try the same 23mm tyre on a rim with a wider internal diameter. You might get a lower profile for the mounted tyre and enough clearance?

Waste of time talking with you as you're set in your ways. Lower pressures result in lower rolling resistance and greater comfort = faster. Learn it.
Eeek, you are Dunning–Kruger incarnate.
The ppl at Silca made a free calc that’ll help you ... er ... learn it.

I’m trying to replace my hot ass aluminium GT cx bike with something at-least as fun but everything costs a mink coat and weighs 2kg+ more.
It has clearance for 45mm tyres somehow.
It’s miniV brakes are a bit shit (for 2021) so I figure ... just enjoy it. A crash will end it/me and just go from there. Dentists are open again now.

I use similar to these.
They’re not adjustable at all but sit down flush with the top of your handlebar and weigh nothing. They’re a nice alternative to the Hirschi head-unit grab and keep you UCI compliant on your ride to Lidl.
They use a clamp like a Kalloy uno stem faceplate. The threaded bit in the carbon is flakey so only torque them to ~ 3nm (I think) and go slow, back and forth, small quarter-turns between the two bolts. Then they’re fine.

better with being neglected
My 10sp DA I just ‘checked’ - always perfect. Did nothing to them in the 15,000 all-weather km I had them.
Tiagra 4700 ... I managed to drive all the grease out in three big rides (mountains+rain). That’s my limited experience.
