Here are the spinner top colors that will be available on our website; we have also added Black & Green to the line up.
They will be added to our website shortly.

The green is awsome! Very spiffy. ;D
SirPoonga:
No yellow :( Hmm, have to think about blue now for a pacman theme. I was hoping for yellow and making it look like pacman :)
Brax:
Is that clear anodized on the end or is it just polished?
If its just polished how long before it oxidizes? Polished Aluminum on my bike will oxidize in a week. Whats the life of polished aluminum in the home? 6 months?
Black dye generally costs more, does your black knob cost more?

This depends entirely on the alloy. Pure aluminum is fairly reactive to oxygen, however some aluminum alloys have much improved corrosion and oxidation resistance based on the composition of the primary alloying elements (copper, magnesium, silicon, and zinc). This is where careful selection of the proper alloy is important. I don't want to put words in his mouth, so I'll let Christian answer that one.
I did my homework beforehand (as I have to believe Christian did as well) and I have unanodized knobs that are at least 9 months old that look exactly the same as they did the day I received them.
