That would actually be cool. It would make the bell look less out of place. Maybe that will be my next purchase. I was thinking about getting a threaded fork and a black quill stem jus for looks. I can not find any other stems that I think would go better with the build and are black. As I also think the Thomson Elite looks a bit out of place, but i think it is one of the better options look wise and everything. Maybe I will try to find an old Salsa Stem actually.

Just the bartape. not a fan of the logos. Same with the stem, I'd take some acetone to it.

You don't take acetone to a Nitto logo. Ever.
The rest of the specs can be found on my PedalRoom if anyone cares.

functionally I would put road bars on with a brake (personal preference), but from an aesthetic standpoint there isn't anything I don't like about it.
I'm really digging the WC colors coming through the holes in the tape and the (hard anodized?) rims.

They may look like track drops in the pics but Nitto M176 are road bars.
Yeah, those are hard anodized TB14s.

)I'm re-qouting my post because scumbag Scrod posted his beautiful above-reproach ride so you could all suck it off for a page immediately afterwards and it buried mine.

Tapes going to match the saddle when I get bullhorns soon - I was just seeing how I liked drops(Spoiler alert:not very much).
Thanks though.

I don't have a valve cap on either of my wheels - must be the quality of the picture?
Also... JK I don't want my bike made fun of anymore - go back to telling scrod he totally isn't fat

I thought it was correct since my tire treads were faced the right direction, I switched it over to the non drive side.
I am getting a new rear wheel for this bike, and switching the silver rims over to my steel bike.
I changed my saddle angle a while ago also.
This picture was taken before the seatpost was adjusted after switching to clipless pedals !
Can't do much about the chode stem though haha.
