The black and white can get old and bland after a while but I just couldn't find myself liking the green and blue. I see what you were trying to do with the color combo's, but I personally ont think it works well. The blue bar tape and cage has to go (respectively IMO of course). I would go with white bar tape if you are going to keep the white saddle. Those aren't rival brake calipers are they? I think black brake calipers would look better. The green "k" series SLK crankset might go nicely with that.

OBVIOUSLY, all and any suggestions on what to buy or replace your items with to make it hot are based on my personal opinions and what your financial ability to spend extra money on your bike. I for one cant go out to buy "Hot" accessories to add to my bike just because someone suggests it.

There has only been 1 supersix in the green and blue combo I have seen that REALLY blows me away...(Yes I know it is a different year supersix with a little bit different design color wise)

Yeah my current ride is compact geo. The drop is not too extreme, but I still have room to slam the stem in the future if I want to get lower. It feels fine as-is.

Since some people didn't approve of the green background in my previous pics, I decided to use the same background with my new bike. :)

I think the flat black is the only tolerable (for me) finish on the new Shimano cranks. Their silver cranks just looks to "blobby" and clunky for my taste. Like someone spilled mercury on the crank. I far prefer open web type cranks aesthetically. Still, the black one looks really sharp on your bike. To my eye, a white saddle with black would be just right.

Thanks. Sorry for the poor pic angle. The saddle actually has a white accent stripe on it so it doesn't completely clash with the white bar tape. Here's a better shot of it. But perhaps I should get the white saddle with the black stripe. Hmmm...

Yeah, I know. I just didn't flip it for the photo.

Didn't want this thread to get any quieter, so I'll offer up my ride on the altar of critique.

I have been babysitting this '85 Raleigh for a buddy while he contemplates selling it. Fun ride. I've totally overhauled the bike and it runs smooth as silk.
So, here's a retro ride for your tomatoes and/or admiration ;)
