    Thanks for the tips!

    Aggie-I am not going clipless yet. I haven't been on a road bike in about 20 years so I want to get comfortable on it first.

    Oooh yeah, Aggie's handlebar blue tape would go well with your new bike! I remember a post from a long time ago...by Equus I think it was, about her new Trek Madone 6.5(?). She had a really nice looking saddle on there, white with turquoise accents. Try and do a search for her thread, she has pics of the saddle posted on there.

    if that pic is blue, go for blue anodized bottle cages. And of course blue striped tires (Stelvio? Conti? Michelin?). OR white ones

    If you are going to add blue accents, you should make sure they are not all different types of blue. That turquoise bar tape look quite different from the apparently teal lettering on your bike, as far as I can tell from the photo.
    Like Zen, I think the bike looks gorgeous as it is- very elegant and stylin'.

    Precisely why mine no longer has blue tires.

    And I now have Dark Blue bar tap like the dark blue of my frame that matches my bottle cages. Don't want anyone talking about my bike, I already don't have a helmet that matches- the horror!

    I hear you... I solved the problem buying three helmets, one per bike...
    Glad to discover that I am not the only 'bike fashion diva' around
