The Pista, lets do it again....
So I thought about what you guys said and concurred that it was too much celeste going on so I changed it up again....Im was thinking about scoring another saddle (yellow or black) but rather just ride this one out for a while until I wear it out unless someone wants to take it off my hands beforehand.

Its a fantastic ride BTW.

I would say over either setup pictured a set of all black tires with black bar tape would be a great deal of improvement.
If you only ride the bike on the street which it looks like you do, I recommend conti grand prix 4000. Great tire all around. Last around 3k, I've got about 1.5 on mine.

I think the tires are a huge improvement. I'd maybe go with a black saddle instead of more yellow. So its a Celeste - Black - Yellow bike instead of Celeste - Yellow - Black. Know what I mean? Part of me wishes the bar tape was black, and instead the yellow was kept to smaller accents, like straps or brake components. I like the yellow with the celeste but in large portions like that bar tape it starts to clash a little.

there is no such thing as too much celeste!!!
i think it looked great before, the only things i would change would be the seatpost, flip the stem, point the horns a little more down and loose the brake.....but thats just me
, its your bike build it how YOU want it
