Originally I had planned to use yellow bartape and a black Brooks on "Sporty" but Dr.Deltron talked me out of it. The yellow tape and yellow cable casing were close but not quite a match. So I started kicking around a "complimentary" color that would not distract from the red or the yellow. This is partially how I decided to use Honey (I also believe Stringbreaker's red Continental uses a Honey Brooks).

I concur that it needs its high flange hubs. As far as cable casing, black? or tan if it can be found?

You are correct PB and also the honey Brooks on the Volare
