I think that bright green goes well on that bike.

The bike reminds me a lot of my 1995ish Volpe with its 3x7 drivetrain. It has very confident handling but it weighs a ton. I have 37mm Vittoria Voyager Hyper tires on it, which only measure 35mm. I'm thinking of moving the tires to my Raleigh International which can afford a little extra weight, and put some lighter tires on the Volpe.
