Newbaum's maroon may work, though tough to tell on a computer screen. Once again, beautiful.

I have the matching Brooks tape on my Jamis. I might just switch it over and see how it looks.

Good choice kids. :)

FWIW Another safe choice=Brown saddle, brown matching bar tape and black levers.

More interesting choice is the brown saddle, green bar tape that matches the accent color on the down tube and black levers.

All's good with this beauty.

Brown leather turns black, so your color choice won't matter.

But you did not mention the cable housing color...

I don't always follow my own advice, but I do like Jagwire Road Pro housings.

How about the Jagwire "titanium" just for grins?

That or maybe the carbon silver.

Black saddle, tape to match the accents (though I don't know what that would be), silver levers with black hoods, Jagwire titanium.

Here are the color choices for Road Pro.

Road Pro | Jagwire

If you shellac the darkest green Newbaum color in this link, you might get close to a color match with the green on the downtube.

I had the same thought.

Has anyone used the Jagwire on a modern Campy set-up? It says Shimano/SRAM specific.

You bet!

Just use Campy cables.

Getting closer to a maiden voyage.

Awaiting IRD cassette and White pedals.

I tried the Blue bar tape, didn't like it. [MENTION=61463]gomango[/MENTION], I used the cables included with the shifters, I couldn't find a local supplier for the Jag colors. The black might be the best color anyway :)

Looks good.

I just had my local shop order from QBP.

I think they stocked one of the ti colors after I used it on a few bikes.

Black works just fine most of the time though.

Living in Cambodia the second question after "Where did you buy it?" is "How Much?"

I'm afraid to add it all up.

poprad 03-22-15 06:25 AM

WoW! Absolute stunner, that. May she never be that clean again! I had discs put on my custom too, and you're gonna love them once they bed in. Congrats on your purchase.

jbchybridrider 03-22-15 06:45 AM

I've been watching all along. Absolutely stunning bike.

So have you ridden it yet?!

Flog00 03-29-15 12:03 PM

Just a short ride, we just had a snowstorm two days ago :(
This coming week looks promising.

Chrome Molly 03-29-15 12:26 PM

It's spectacular. I hope you get riding weather soon, it must be killing you not to be out on it.

I can tell just by looking at it, it will be a very light feeling bike for a full on tourer.

jade408 03-29-15 02:44 PM

Lovely bike. The epitome of bike porn. :)
