How Does This Look

I just put on some new decals and would like your opinions. Should I remove them and leave it plain, or let them stay?

Excellanté! I would leave them if they look as good in real as they do in flat land.

OOOPS sorry. The first pic is original, the second one is with the decals removed, and the third is now. So, with or without as I can't go back to the original.

Nice bike. Decals look fine. The all-black tires though ... Why not get some tan sidewalls?

I prefer it with the decals. I agree skinwalls would compliment the bike better.

Any recommendations as to what tires would look good, Pasela's maybe?

looks like you bought B E R T I N letters at a craft store, but that's just my opinion.

Decals are fine, a little big though.

Black tires are fine, too. Gumwalls would make it too busy, IMO.

Nice job, looks fine! The rest of the bike is also very nice. The paint needs some dark contrast, the tires and tape complement it.
