My vote is for black. I just don't think that gumwalls would look good with those radical colors :cool:

FWIW, i think you should have one set of training wheels with maxxis detonator pink tires.

or the vittoria rubino giro edtion tires.

just for fast road rides, ya know :)

As you long as you don't buy used tires, you'll be fine.* Also: black. It's not even a discussion in this case.

On this bike - black. It looks more modern and sleek to me - I think gum walls would look anachronistic here.

Same here, but in this case, I think they'd look like refried ass on those wheels and with that bike. If it were silver rims with silver hubs and silver spokes...maybe...

But that just screams for black. Really let's the loud frame do all the talking.

Given that it's a wild scheme from the get-go, I voted gumwall to continue the look. It might be nuts, but not that different from what you already have going.

Edit: In this case I think the bar tape should match the frame color.
