Given the black rims, I'd go black on the headset.

Bikes: '97 HooKooEKoo + '75-'85 Fuji Regis fixie conversion.

Purple anodized has always been where it's at.

Not in this case tho'.

Black.

I just found this at the "snowtech Japan" portion of the Shimano website.

Im having the same issue. Red frame-polished aluminum forks-silver stem-chrome bars-red/black/silver saddle.
Im getting a black chris king headset and a black thomson seatpost. I'd love to find some black cranks with a bcd of at least 130. But silver will probably have to suffice. But what color grips???? White, black, or red?

If you can't decide, go with clear grips.
