The problem is, it's silver! Woe is OCP!
At first, I was thinking about spray painting it black. But that would lose me major points, as well as a +6 in tackiness. That made me come up with an idea.. why not replace my bar tape? I could get a new color. I could even get white bar tape! Yeah! Or shiny metallic silver! I've got a white frame with silver components and a black fade near the head tube.
I did the only natural thing and took pictures to ask you guys. What do you think would look the best?

P.S. My mom came over today. I was explaining to her my dilemna about the need for color-coordinated-ness when she remarked "you bikers care about that stuff? what a bunch of women.."
One must first examine what is wrong with this picture.
While your pedals are at the correct angle for dicplaying a bicycle. Your seat bag is causing issues for many a viewer.
Also, your inner tube stems are not facing the same direction.
Your not on the big ring/small ring combo.
No bike should be displayed wiht platform pedals.
To defeat ones enemy, one must learn his ways to exploit his weaknesses.
