Given the black rims, I'd go black on the headset.

good call la brat.. i was wondering where those black rims fit in the picture... and sorry.. but reds not gonna happen.. colored headsets remind me of bike parts anodized in rasta colors..

Purple anodized has always been where it's at.

Not in this case tho'.

Black.

I just found this at the "snowtech Japan" portion of the Shimano website.

Im having the same issue. Red frame-polished aluminum forks-silver stem-chrome bars-red/black/silver saddle.
Im getting a black chris king headset and a black thomson seatpost. I'd love to find some black cranks with a bcd of at least 130. But silver will probably have to suffice. But what color grips???? White, black, or red?

If you can't decide, go with clear grips. ;)
