Personally, since i have the same bike with gumwalls, I am a little biased and think they look great on this bike. But, its ok to have different opinions of course. I know a lot of people dont care for the all black frames either. Ride what ya like I guess.
Personally, I think the biggest thing that dislike about this bike is that it has aero bars on a non aero frame. Some people find these bars comfortable to ride, but I always feel it looks off when paired with a non aero frame.

valve stem caps are more like the tag on the suit that you didn't take off thinking it was stylish

As far as the bike ganging on the brick wall. Too many shades of black. The frame looks matte while the seat post and stem looks glossier. The wheels are charcoal. If you are going with 1 color I think they need to match

Usually I don't like the appearance of a completely slammed stem, but this looks right because you don't have an insane amount of saddle to bar drop.

Here's one to break up all the black. New leftover Fuji Altamira 2.3 Ultegra, 17.4 as it sits. I apologize for the valve stems, just noticed.

I kinda wish Fuji would get a little more adventurous with their paint jobs https://s.graphiq.com/sites/default/...2501129_i2.jpg
But I'll join in on the not-black/Altamira shenanigans. This is a severe discount build while I decide what I'm doing with it. Dead-on 16 lbs without the seatpack, computer head and lights.
