Bikes: A green one, "Ragleigh," or something.

If you plan on keeping that saddle, then the most understated but classic look would be the black hoods, black tape and either black or the old-fashioned silver cable housing. (OK, technically that is clear-over-silver-colored metal housing, but I've had another C&Ver tell me it looks just right on one of my vintage rides)

You want the understated and classy girls to run after you, right, not the tarted-up harlots?
