I thought about making my bike all white until someone pointed out that all white bikes look like ghost bikes.

Then I thought I'd add all kinds of colors (blue, red, yellow, gold, green, etc...)
for each component I upgraded because it'd look great off of the white.

Then I got to thinking that I'd go with black upgrades
(saddle, tape, stem, bar, crankset, wheels, etc...).

Then I remembered, this is my "get around" bike and the CAAD is the real upgrade bike.

So, I just decided to keep the tires filled and keep the drivetrain lubed and keep it clean and ride the heck out of it.



(However, the saddle will definitely be upgraded along with tape, tires, tubes & brake levers & pads.)
