I liked it better with black saddle, and bartape, but it looks good either way. I think the fork would look better black.

I had them give me a quote of sanding my old SLC down, all except the downtube logo, and clearing the frame, and they quoted me $1000 last year. That would probably save 40-50g, but the lightness it would put on my wallet is too much. I wish I didn't care about a warranty, I would just go that approach, and do it myself. Colors are overrated. I like it void of colors.
