I dig that yellow on blue.
Question, not trying to hijack the thread-- part of the aesthetic discussion since you raise it here, but I am facing a similar question with a marroon/reddish italian frame with yellow details. I know I want yellow bar tape, and have considered a yellow saddle to go with it, but how do you know when something is too match-matchy? The other alternative is black saddle (black hoods and cables), so I know it's always "to each his/her own" but in general, how do you know when to say when to coordinating accents?
