Hey all, I just got a new frame and transplanted all my components off one of my other bikes to it. However, I feel like some of the colors are clashing or not flowing very well. I know a lot of personal opinions will come into play but I welcome all compliments or criticism. Is it the seatpost clamp or saddle or handlebar tape colors? Something just doesn't feel right to me and I can't pinpoint it, give me your opinions! Yes I know, it's missing the chain, I didn't put it on yet when I took the photo, it's just a basic silver chain though.

Your bike looks fine. Go ride it.

No, put a chain on it, then go ride it. A gold chain.

The only thing that jumps out at me is the saddle height. How's your leg extension when you're pedaling?

Pretty sure the saddle is at the proper height. I have full extension when I have my heel on the pedal with the crank arms vertical. I have some weird body proportions though; long torso, short legs. I'm still kind of new to cycling so I'll be able to move that saddle up as I lose more weight ... at least that's what I'm hoping for from what I've heard around the internet.

Look OK to me, but then again, I'm a sucker for black/white.

Looks fine... go ride.

Yeah, the colorway definitely clashes with the sofa.

Looks hot. Quit stressing.

Factory five makes replica/tribute cars. And bikes?

Gold chain would be sweet. Just needs pavement and fleet

color combination???

are black & white even colors?

1st world problems

The fact that you'd need to consult a bunch of strangers on the internet about what color parts you find appealing blows my mind.

It's the equivalent of saying "Hey guys, I just made this sandwich. Because I have no idea what I like or thinks tastes good, should I put mayo or mustard on it?"

Haha, it's actually not affiliated with the Factory 5 you're talking about. It's a shop located in Shanghai. One of the founders is a childhood family friend of mine so I wanted to throw some money over there. The frame is really well made and I don't mind doing some free advertising for him.

Hmmm couple votes for a gold chain. I'll have to grab one.

Looks fine, if the seat post collar bothers you throw on a black one

Dude... You put your bike on the sofa. If I put my bike on the sofa, I'd be sleeping on the sofa. And it's not even a nice sofa (mine, not yours).

Pretty sure they're pulling your chain, OP.

Get rid of the silver brake track

a gold chain always looks good. ALWAYS.

Classic mustard. Spicy mustard, if you're feeling extra-fancy.

False.

I can't say I don't disagree with you.

Fair enough. Agree to disagree and have a beer instead?

I'd like to say a gold chain looks good on anything but Angie had one on her Vigorelli for a minute and it looked pretty gross.

She was able to figure that out on her own, though.

Silver seatpost clamp doesn't work for me. The entire bike is ruined because of it. Plus, they are WAY slower than black clamps.
