Black bars/stem/seatpost/cranks/White hoses and gear cable so far. Do i bother introducing a "colour" - if so - what? Thinking bb/pedals/seatclamp/spacers

I don't like white bars stems and posts, they should all be anodized not powder coated.

It only has one white cable now druid. I replaced the brakes with Shimano ones. When/if they need bleeding I will probably replace the hoses with white goodridge, that or replace the gear cable when I upgrade to 10spd.

Blue or red would look good, maybe go black. Suppose it depends how bling you want it?

I like the white hoses.

I also like that bike (STP?) Duane, it just looks right.
