If there were no decals on the frameset, or they were ghosted, I'd say tan.

Most bikes I'd say tan, but black on this one.

You really can't go wrong.
The black looks better on that bike than most, but I'd still go tan.

IF you were running shorter height rims, tan.

In this case: black 'cause it works better with the deep dish wheels.

Rode with a guy on Vittorias and 303s the other week. Tanwall tires look funny on deeper section wheels.

That's my $.02. Worth what you paid for it.
