Machka:

I'm glad you are dealing with the loss by moving on to your next project. This will probably be a bike you will have the rest of your life. I ride a Merlin Cyrene, which was a custom build up. I remember having a very hard time finding anything to match color-wise between different components, unless you go with basic colors like red. I ended up going with only Ti (ie silver) or black on the bike. As far as helmets go, you should be able to find teal but you're going to have to look for it. Your best bet might be in bike shops vs over the internet. I do have a suggestion for bar tape: since you ride a Brooks saddle, go with Brooks bar tape. It's not teal green, but it will last you many years, and it does come in British Racing Green.

I hope your old bike still turns up.
