What is the color of the saddle?

In any case, I cannot see tan/brown working with those colors at all. Just way too out of the family, imo. I think black, grey, or silver would work better.

Cool Thomson post and Lake shoes.
Had not seen the post before.

I might just get some black Cinelli and be done with it. Who knows.

Might be hard to find bar tape in red or blue that matches the same shade as the red or blue in the frame. If the shade is off it will look distracting. I vote for a tan color or black

Red on one side, blue on the other, and that Union Jack seat is a must.

There is only one choice for bar tape on this bicycle.

I really like the SupaCaz tape.

How about this one:

Or maybe just buy some plugs in red to go with black tape:
