That's the thing. Who decides what's overboard? When a bike has 2 colors? 3? 4 is too much?
Of course, I like the bike as is too. If it were mine, I'd add those touches to balance things out.
If I see an obvious patch of one color on a multi-colored bike, I like to see something in that patch
that exists elsewhere on the same bike. Again, a personal preference. It's not wrong to have big
patches of uncoordinated color on a bike.

Vanno.Velo's crankset/pedals/saddle/seat post clamp would be perfect here.
I'm not one for colored tires, but this bike is nice.
Some will say that those parts would be "too much".
Some will hate it, some will like it.
Again, taste is subjective.

In keeping with the liquigas theme of the last couple pages here's my hi-mod. Since the last time I posted put my black hoods back on and lizard skins 2.5 tape. Sitting at just over 6.2kg as pictured.

Very nice! I'll admit... I've always wanted one of the SS HM Team frames ever since Liquigas' grand tour domination of 2010. But it was too hard to find a frameset in the right size, and the complete bike was wayyy over my budget. I've ridden both the SS HM and the Evo, and I feel like the HM has a better "feel," despite the Evo's superior weight and (supposedly) aerodynamics. It's one of the greatest race bikes out there for sure!

No Himods for 2012?
Or does the Evo replace it?
Or are all SuSi's HM's now?

Such a beautiful day in Brooklyn today mid 50's sunny crisp....

Leather seat experiment over. I like my old selle san marco caymano just fine.

25c Conti 4000s w/ reflective strips. Actual measurement of the 25c is 27mm. They look pretty trippy/cool at night - two rolling rings of white.

Very clean, job well done!
