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

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

john903 · #18 02-12-2019, 05:26 PM

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

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

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.

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.

Normally I hate tan, but that looks amazing!

Olison3 · #24 02-13-2019, 01:07 AM

Beautiful bike. I vote for the black.

Hilltopperny · #25 02-13-2019, 05:12 AM

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 · #27 02-13-2019, 06:07 AM

Both look awesome, but my vote is for tan

jay023 · #28 02-13-2019, 09:02 AM

black keeps my eyes moving around the whole bike

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.

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

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.
