Needs some chromatism.

blu

Needs the steerer cut.

Blue, for kicks.

I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks!

But did you vote in the poll?

Blue all the way. Black/white is so boring.

Needs the saddle tilted a tad. Gonna give you the pokies.

Oh and....

Beeelew.

I'm Mr. Monochrome, but I voted blue. Maybe get something else blue, something subtle like chain tensioners... just to show you got it going on.

I know it doesn't really show in the pics, but the tires are blue too.

It would be cool if the pedals were blue too.

and the chain

actually going back for another look you can see the tires - you'd prolly wanna match the blue to the tires...two clashing blues might look bad.

what about blue/white or black/white?

assuming the frame is actually white and not off white / robins egg blue like it kinda looks then I'd say blue.

That might ,look nice - the blue/white.

I'd go black second, white last.

use 2 colors and weave them.

I've seen better patterns, that's just a pic I grabbed quickly. I'm thinking blue/black for my blue LHT (although almost all the rest of it is chrome-y, where it's not covered in grease and roadgrit anyway)

Oh I know! Do blue cages!!

Blue & black patterned like the third one from the left :)

Blue pedals to match ?

yes. I have em on my bike. Specialized makes really nice blue cages - light and they should match.

Better than having the gumbys!

My new bike is gonna look like that so I'm gonna do blue tires, blue saddle, and blue marbled tape.



I think you should go with black. :p

Silver tape

I replied in your other thread but here goes again...Those bars (drop) look really large so be careful of whatever color you pick otherwise the bars themselves will dwarf the rest of the rig (visually that is).

I would not do anything that brought any more attention to the bars, instead go subtle, probably black. Unless you're going for an all bars bike look of course.

If you had much shallower bars (120-130m or so) I'd say go blue to accent the wheels. But if you're not careful you're going to have a set of handlebars with a couple of wheels attached to them.

As far as the tape goes, the reason that blue, black, and white are the options is because those are the colors of bar tape in my garage. Also, I have a viscerally negative reaction to splash tape.

But mostly I'm excited that Siu is going to get me blue pedals and cages! Thanks so much! PM me for my mailing address!

I think blue is the answer for the time being. Finished pics soon!

we found a real old blue & orange splash tape in an old mom & pop LBS in Queens ...looked like the official NY Mets bar tape

Normally I like solid color tape, but that blue marble pattern could look good on your particular set up.

this is in keeping with being visible I take it!I actually put black and white splotched Cinelli cork tape on mine, but the rasta tape amuses me.

blue - a long time ago I would have gone with ye ole standby black just cause, however we all need some color in our life - blue!

OMG do you remember the rainbow/love project? The one side of the bar is rasta.

I still think black is the new black and it is also a wonderful underoo color.
