I don't remember chrome socks either. I'll have to take a peek at the catalogs.

Thoughts on bar tape color assuming aero levers with black hoods? I'm also either going to use the saddle on the bottom picture or something colored black.
I kind of want to do yellow but it might be a little too loud for this build. I'd like it to look good with both the green and black bag.

The '88 fork was red all the way down. I'm guessing a previous owner stripped the paint up to that point and added the white line.

Ehh… it's hard to go wrong, but in some cases not-black can look good (red on my P2 looks awesome). This bike is certainly screaming for leather/ honey to match the saddle, but with the levers changing to black... probably black. But then I worry it's too busy without a black saddle.

I'd also be tempted to go carbon silver, even though it doesn't last very long...

What about something a bit out there like purple or green?
An experiment that didn't go very well. I have the angle and position pretty dialed on the other seatpost and saddle so I didn't want to take that setup apart just to try something different.
