Aesthetics improvements
 
Okay first i had to admin that i'am kinda crazy for tiny details and the bike aestetics overall.
This is my last bike , and i'am enjoyng it like a kid.
Here my question:
- How you will improve the bike look?
- Which color of details (bolts , skewers ,bottlecages and other) will be more nice? Red ergal or Gold

All that being said, though I din't think your bike needs anything, but thats not the point. I say gold anodized.

I tend to like to match the decal, but it's pretty subdued on this one. Cannondales used to have model and CAAD stickers all over with chunky yellow text

The BMX guys seem to be better at the accessory color selection than the rest of us.
For me, the color of the frame dictates the color of the accessories; whether they match or contrast.
-If you have a black or chrome frame, you can use almost any color. on the bling parts

Dirt, road grime, dings and scratches.

Since there's nothing on the bike that's already gold and the downtube decal looks silver, gold bits will look out of place. If the hubs, stem, and seat collar were all a matching third color, that would be cool, but as it stands, it looks better with all black parts, IMO.
