I just received my Team Fuji that I bought off an e-bay seller. I assembled it and everything seems good to go, minus the few things I will change. I'm in the process of narrowing two items down to color and need. I'm looking at replacing the tires with either Michelin Pro Race 700x23 or Continental Grand Prix 3000's. These both seem to be good tires. Mainly I will be riding on the Silver Comet which is a paved rail trail. Some of it is black asphalt and the other is the white concrete slabs. My other question for you is what color would you get, dark blue or yellow to match this bike. Here is a picture of it now in it's current state. I would also replace the bar tape with the same color. Just asking what others think, I can't decide. Thanks.

i would say yellow, i got a pair of the mich's on my bike and hated the color for the first 20 miles. But the dark blue will not match your bike, so it my be worth the contrast. Remember that a bike that has a matching color scheme will give you 2-3 mph, you will need the shorts gloves and jersey too ;)

It's almost as bad as adding NOS stickers to a economy car. Adds at least 15HP. Thanks for the reply, yellow is what I was leaning towards but still couldn't decide.:)

I like any yellow on a bicycle. My bike is red/wht/blue, and I still got a seat with some yellow in it. lol
