I have a Candian Mariposa (Custom built by Mike Barry) frame, and it is yellow w/ chrome stays. Since I bought it, I stripped the bike down to the frame, and began to upgrade it piece by piece.
I am to the point now where I can make some color choices for the bike. I could go for a bumble bee look, and get black tape, a black saddle, ect. Or I could go for another color like celeste, or red, or blue. OR I could go all out and get everything in yellow. However there is the question of weather I'm crossing the line between the cool look and the "dear-god-why-did-you-do-that?!" look.
Any suggestions? What do you think would look the best?
