If I could have ANY colors? Well, to me (since I'm a child of the bike boom) chrome socks are a given... Not to mention that they don't chip with constant wheel removal! Chrome driveside chainstay protector or entire chrome d/s chainstay. Chrome lugs or proper lug-lining... (note the lugged steel frame )

...and then after that, any candy color over silver/chrome... -- Plum/purple, Green, Copper/rootbeer, Red, Blue... Fades from one candy color to another could also work - yellow-to-red, or what have you...

Polished silver components (bars, cranks, brakes, levers, etc) NO body-color or black (or gold for that matter)

Graphics - simple name on the frame only, and a complimentary color (preferably the same color as the lug lining).

Wheels - polished aluminum hoops, and polished hubs! NO gaudy manufacturer stickers on wheels, other than the traditional C&V (Wolber, Mavic, etc)... Stainless butted spokes with silver nipples...

Yeah, I'm C&V, through and through!!!
