    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 think I'm going to leave it the way it is for now (maybe change the saddle if the original doesn't work for me) and hook it up for my first century in May. I'll probably add the bottle cages soon though.

    Thanks to everyone for your thoughts!

    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

    Sweet.
    It seems to have a charcoal/black and white kinda theme (lower part of fork and stays appear to be charcoal or black?). Black tape, or dark carbon looking tape in that case, would contrast the white nicely. I'm fixing up a bike for my niece now, it's pearl white with chromed stays and fork so I bought silver DEDA tape to fit the chrome/white theme. Nicest tape I've ever used, and it comes in a variety of colors. Saddle (why do the stock saddles never feel good?) if needed, and a fitting would really make it 'you'. Speedplay Light-Action pedals can be had in white (I admit I am a Speedplay fanatic) and the X1 is in a dark carbon color for the weight weenies.

    It's fun spending other peoples money LOL. Enjoy your new classy ride!
