    Any time I try to match things to something else, like blue with blue, it always winds up looking like I tried to match it. I find that when I contrast, it is so much better! I'd let the blue stay on your bike and make the blue accents be very small items. I like the thought of white for saddle and tape, or keeping it black. I'm afraid that if you get blue tires, blue bar tape and blue seat, you are going to have a dozen different shades of blue that don't quite match. I kind of like it like it is in the picture! Sort of a ring of black around the blue middle!

    I would disagree with the white bar tape.
    At the moment I have white bar tape, white hoods, and a white saddle and let me tell you the bar tape is not white anymore!! And the hoods have dark marks where my fingers sit :-(
    The white saddle also has gotten a little dirty from flipping the bike over on the road to change a rear tire.

    This weekend the bar tape and the hoods are being switched out to red(the oh so sweet BF ordered them as a surprise and they came in today!!)

    So yes, the white looks awesome! Especially if you do it with white hoods, but it is horribly painful to keep white.

    But we are all pro racers. So there's a spare bike on the team car if we get a speck of dirt on the white bar tape.

    Right?

    Hmmm... I'm thinking blue bar tape, and maybe tires w/ a blue bead running through them. Or not?? I dunno?? Everyone has different tastes..

    I'd say tires with a blue stripe, but other than that, she's perfect!

    Who cares what other riders think about your stem height--as long as you're comfortable and love your ride. And she's one sweet honey of a ride!
