Very nice. My vote is for black.

[stackie]

Black

[duff_duffy]

Black

[zetroc]

Tan. Tan tan tan.

[KonaSS]

Tan

[R3awak3n]

black for sure but the tan is not bad either

[zap]

Black.......unless that Spec turbo cotton supposedly super duper tire is not available in all black and you really want that tire.

[Hellgate]

I'm running tan on mine.

[superbowlpats]

Black

[Freier]

black...but the tan doesn't look too bad either

[dbnm]

one of each

[teleguy57]

I'm a die-hard tan sidewall guy. However, the black is pretty good on this overall color palette.

I'll have tan-walled Vlaanderens on the Boras going on my in-process Alliance allroad with dark label graphics. Looks like you found a way to remove the graphics from yours. Fortunately the G3 lacing still tells the story:)

And are there pics somewhere????

[weaponsgrade]

Both look good, but I'd go tan.

[oldturd]

i love me my tan sidewalls on my bikes but the black is the business.

i think i would prefer tan if it was a different shade of tan like the Corsa G+ :hello:

[Shoeman]

I'd go with Black if it were my horse.

[Matt-H]

Frame really pops with the black. Great looking bike either way!

[john903]

Black. It really brings out the frame as a center piece.

[XXtwindad]

Black. Hands down. If the bike were a different color, then the tan sidewalls would be great.

[skiezo]

I would say black. Me thinks that tan looks more better on a classic style rim.
I like all black with a black deeper rim.Looks more sleek.

Either way, I'd get a black seatmast topper if possible.

[weisan]

you can only determine that when the bike is in full flight and you watch the bystanders reactions...whichever cause their jaws to drop, that's the color you pick.

[shinomaster]

Normally I hate tan, but that looks amazing!

[Olison3]

Beautiful bike. I vote for the black.

[Hilltopperny]

I think both look great, but the black is bit better on this particular build.

Aren't tan wall tires on a clincher bike kind of poseur?

[karpink]

Both look awesome, but my vote is for tan

[jay023]

black keeps my eyes moving around the whole bike

Either way, I'd get a black seatmast topper if possible.

I had a fleeting thought about that when I first saw the bike, then focused on tires. I agree with a black topper complementing the overall look better.

[KarlC]

Big THX guys for all of your input !

Well, Black leads this race by a 3 to 1 vote so far.

The Tan walls show here are Veloflex Vlaanderen and pretty amazing also

Got a pix you can post ?

The seatmast topper is something new I am trying, I thought of adding a silver stem to match it. I will likely ether paint the seatmast topper black or paint the seatmast topper and the stem to match the frame.

I dont really know, maybe ask someone who rides clinchers, as its all Tubular all the time over here. :)

[vincenz]

Black. It’s too loud with the tan. Eyes should be on that frame, not the wheels imo.

[PQJ]

Depends.

To the OP - tan.

[m_sasso]

Tan = bicycle

Black = "Tronish" vehicle

[93KgBike]

The tan draws my eyes to the frame. But you can't really go wrong either way on that marque.

[huck*this]

Black. Makes the wheels look deeper which I know you like.

:beer: for the Vlaanderens
:beer::beer: for all tubular all the time

And the more I look, the more I'm a tanwall vote. I would go black topper and keep the black stem. I think adding silver complicates things.

Paint to match the frame, ftw.

[MoparPorsche]

Black definitely.

[papa bless]

Black. You have a gorgeous frame, and anything other than black just distracts from it.

[Blown Reek]

As someone who only has tubulars and has black sidewalls on all of them, I'd say you're safe either way. Just makin' sure it's being Kept Real.

[KarlC]

Thx for all of the input guys, it looks like Black sidewalls win.

[bitpuddle]

Such a great bike all around; It’s a keeper. That frame looks great with the black sidewalls.

The great thing about tires is that they wear out so you can change to the proper ones when you come to your senses :banana:

Maybe I will put the proper (tan wall I take that as) tires on my 7 622 ?
