Woohoo! I have a real road bike now :)

That orange is pretty - you need matching handlebar tape or tires now

I was already thinking that

It also has accents of dark red/maroon...

Cool! I've been looking for some ways to accessorize my LHT when it arrives. I am currently leaning to use green as a complimentary color for it, but will better know when I see that blue in person

Yay! How cool that you found a great deal on a leftover and it's just what you were looking for.

Yes, I was eyeing that pink argyle, it looks awesome! I was thinking of the orange Serfas with flowers though, because it's much bigger. Right now I have the larger of the timbuk2 saddle bags and it's way too small to carry anything useful. If I don't find something I like at my LBS when I take this thing in for a tune up later I'll definitely be getting the serfas from TE

I also spotted this bar tape on ebay and had to buy it.. I was thinking solid orange at first but that looks fun

That bar tape is great! Good choice. Congratulations on the bike! Have fun riding!

Maybe look at the soma hemp bags - they have sort of a copper/orange sun embroidered on them as an accent.

But I use one of the timbuk2 seatbags - I can fit a spare innertube, my headlamp, my bike tool & chain tool & my keys in it easy. I can look up what size I have?

Yeah, the problem is that I have to carry waaaay more than that - I'm diabetic So in addition to energy for the ride and the typical bike stuff, I have to carry my meter and emergency glucose (because Gu doesn't act fast) and that takes up room too. I don't like stuffing too much junk in my pockets.. so between my current fuel box and seat bag there just isn't enough room.

I've been looking for some new bar tape for my red Bike Friday, and that bar tape is AWESOME!! I'm going to have to buy some. I'm tired of my boring black.
