Need opinion on color....
I need your guys opinion on which color truvativ hussefelt riser bar color to choose 
for my commuter 09 kona paddy wagon [a much overdue upgrade; I've been using a flat bar from chopped rusted drops] (FYI I store this inside away from the public so yeah); the choices are a powder coated white or anodized black (newer versions with the houndstooth decals).... it seems the paint scheme can go both ways but I havent been able to finalize a choice for the best of me, despite 5 days of on and off contempting about 
...
Bike is pretty much stock side for a white arione & salsa lever seatpost clamp.

black
your fork is black, your cranks are black and the seat post is black...
now if those were silver, then go for silver bars.

I say black. The white on your bike is minimal and is in the middle of the bike. Having white bars would seem like the color scheme is "open." I mean in a way that black shoes and a black hat "closes" your outfit. I don't color coat my clothes: I just felt that scenario best illustrated my point.

black everything out. My friend has that bike w/ all black components (including black Veeps) and it's sick looking.

its kinda cool when the white is only on that one place.
