I am trying to leverage the orange highlights on this bike which is for a woman since the base color is not amazing.

Already decided that Wahoo mount is the wrong Orange and will go. (Too matchy-matchy, IMO. Get black and leave it alone!) Question if the orange seat collar should be added. (You're on a slippery slope, IMO, but OK if you must!) I bought the wrong size, so needs replacing anyway.

And bar tape. I have a few options, not convinced by any of them. Orange seems overkill. (That is a handsome bike with delicate and tasteful trim. Black adds to the look, IMO. It doen't detract from it)
Black? Grey/Brown match the paint? Thoughts? Fire away, there are no bad ideas (well there are actually bad ideas, but not about bar tape).

Rest of the build is SRAM force with Red crank and black wheels. Black saddle.

Fire away...
