Here's his (without the racks)
Interesting. I look at that bike and think why it looks so much better than mine (same colour frame, brooks saddle and leather bar tape)
Than it dawns on me: all contrasting stuff is metal color: Rims, spokes, hubs, fenders, brakes, headset spacers, seatpost. Mine are all in black. Next time I buy an LHT, I will make sure they are all in metal color. Oh, wait that will be, like, never.
