Golden yellow Jagwire housing/Selle Italia saddle/Bontrager wrap/Elite cages/lettering/Vittoria Rubino Pro III tires (stripes, not the whole tire)
Black Transit bag
Black Forte pedals with cleats, Black toe clips that insert into the pedals (if she wants to wear running shoes as a beginner or in a sprint triathlon)
Just under 18 lbs without pedals and cages.

I tried to mount black next to silver where possible, keep the contrast going.
Then I added stuff to match the lettering.
She will appreciate the accessorizing....and it will match a Livestrong helmet.

Plus, she can wear a Packers jersey and match the bike.
I like the black.
