Well, Chris King makes very pretty and accurately cut anodized headset spacers. But if you can't come up with the coin for King spacers, you can start changing the look of your bike by grabbing a few of the color anodized Dia-Compe spacers. They come in pink, blue, green, gold, and purple. (Because I watch you carefully construct the visual style of your individual bikes: The pink is like a dark magenta. Purple has a lot of red in it. The green is dark and classic. The gold is an orange gold, not a yellow gold. The blue is electric not navy.)
Spacers are an easy and inexpensive way to spice up your bike. You can mix them of course, or you can add a dash of brightness to the traditional silver or black spacer stack. They come in 5mm and 10mm thicknesses for both 1-inch and 1-1/8th-inch threadless steerer tubes. The spacers will fit most track and fixed gear, road, and mountain forks. We just received a bunch of them. (I can already predict that they are also going to be very nice candidates for those creative mockingbird riders who like all things shiny and make jewelry, messenger bag do-dads, and key rings.)
