thanks everyone, i hope to add my own in a week or so. just dreaming at this point, absorbing the ideas to add to or enhance my own.

I dig white saddles and/or bar tape on all black bikes too.

I have never mastered posting pics on the Forum (just not tech head, I guess), so a word picture will have to suffice....

Imagine a circa 2008 59 cm Pegoretti Duende in the black ethnic paint (Reggie Baseball has posted pics of a very similar bike), but mine has 2006 Record (with carbon compact cranks), black Ritchey bars and stem and a brown Fizik Aliante, with matching brown Fizik bar tape. 32 hole Open Pros.

A bit heavy (but then so am I!)but beautiful, in my eyes.

Love it!

Hey, I like the full blackout look! But there was a time when this bike had Joe Young-built DT Swiss wheels with black rims and red labled 240s hubs...and my astute mechanic added a tiny strip of red pinstripe tape over the black electrical tape holding the bartape down, plus red anodized cable crimp-on ends, and those tiny elements just made the whole thing pop.

Sorry, this is the only pic I have of that bike, pre- all the red bits described above.
