    Thanks everyone! I will first check out what my local store has and then probably shop online. Mimi, yes this is the exact bike I have, teal is a nice color but Kimmyt is right , its really hard to compliment. It will probably be a mix of teal and black since my saddle is black too. Hmmm too little options.

    Black and white are great colors to combine with teal, they really seems to make the teal pop. The tires they show on the bike at the specialized site look really nice with all three colors combined together.

    I would go with a rich purple, and at some point, you could get the Velocity rims in deep eggplant. Teal and purple would be nice.

    My Cannondale was a light blue color (not quite teal), and I had pink bar tape and a pink saddle that complimented VERY nicely.

    As much as I like pink accessories on bikes, I can't change my saddle for a different one, it took me 6 saddles to finaly be as comfortable as I am. Unfortunately, Selle italia doesn't make Max Flite saddles in pink otherwise i would really consider it :-) . Purple is my favorite color but I am not sure how it would look with teal color, black and white so far sounds like a good option.

    Hi there

    This site, although based in the UK, supplies some really cool bar tape.

    http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/

    Just do a search on Bar Tape and it comes up with 6 pages, some really great designs and colours, oooops, sorry, I mean colors..........lol

    I am sure they deliver to the USA but if they don't, I can always order them and forward them to you.

    pink and seafoam green are a nice combination (for BEST coordination.... you already have it with the silver!)

    Caligurl, silver tape is ok, but it's sort of boring, I like color so since I decided to change handlebars I might as well change the tape to something happier.
