Hi miamijim,

You often see gold teamed with black so I guess your Colnago Mexico or Vitus would be obvious choices but I think you would have to use other area of gold to make it work. Personally, I don't really like the black and gold thing too much if the gold is too bright - it's alright - it just looks better if the gold is more subdued.

I know your choices limited to your bikes but if the gold rims are a paler, more subdued colour, they seem to work better with more frame colours such as blues or deep reds or perhaps a similarly coloured gold frame.
