i'd be tempted to go with white tires, like Schwalbe Ultremos. An all-black crank would look good, too.

Could you move that contraption, so we can get a better look at the Ferrari?

I'm sure its a fine bike and I do realize that sometimes a photo just cant do a bike justice. For me, this is a "Not" that isn't even on the fence. This is a solid not for me. So even though you say its hot, we will just have to agree to disagree on this one. Nothing wrong with that.
