The bike will tell you. I was all set to accent my olive green LHT with brown, even bought the honey Brooks B-17. Got my first look at the new frame and it just screamed black accents. I tried to do brown but the bike was not having any of it! So black saddle, bar tape and under the seat bag. It was a happy bike.

I did just replace the bar tape with green camo tape that looks very cool! Now it's an even happier bike
