I just got this new bike for a very good price. I thought I’d go with some gold bottle cage to get a nice look.

I’m wondering if I should stop here or going with other stuff to make it cool looking. I was thinking of going gold with the headset spacer and the cap but not sure...

Do you think that’s enough or should I do more? What you guys think?

Thanks !

Alternate gold and black headset spacers?

Doesn't overdose but keeps the cages from looking out of place.

I'd prefer black cages.

You read my mind. Or may be the stem to be gold instead of the spacer?

I think all black on that bike would look boring. But you probably do need a gold headset, spacers and hubs. It's a real rabbit hole

Someone mentioned in another post the seat collar. That maybe just what I need.

I am surprised that no one has already mentioned it.
How about gold bar tape?.

[Red Tornado]

+1 for both a gold chain and gold bar tape.

[zambenini]

Every bike needs a gold chain.

gold seat collar, gold skewers- bolt ons, gold chainring bolts. gold valve caps. flip the stem. you have enough steerer tube to run the stem horizontal without changing bar height. old guys like near horiz. stems, quills were near horiz.

Have the frame painted gold

Black cages. Ride the crap out of it.

Thanks! I’m going to retain your advice even if other had good one too.

I’ve tried some option on windows paint, making picture touch up to have a rough idea.

I’m only going to change chainring bolts and handle bar stem screw.

This just going to be enough to fit with the bottle cage.

Thanks!

And replace the DT sticker with "MMRF" (Makes Me Ride Faster)

Cool bike! Ride it as is. I for one spend too much time thinking about what I Bike looks like :). That’s why I need to ride more!

[vqdriver]

nah, a splash of bling is fine, but you don't want to go too far down this road

Gold studded snow tires?

[Patb095]

I know the gold color is pretty unusual. I just couldn’t find a color other than black that would work with the orange.

And yes I will forget about all that whenever I start hammering the pedals in spring.

Flip that stem around. The "old man" style doesn't cut it.

Exactly. Leave it just the way it is....no more, no less. If you just HAVE too...gold chain.

I thought people were joking about the gold chain...this product exist for real!

Black cages. Gold looks out of place, IMHO...

And get some dirt on those tires. Ride the damn thing.
