I like the white seatpost! I might have to get the fork painted too.

Or even orange...

If you are thinking about that blue, I have some here (fizik, not exactly that model but that color, pretty sure its just all perforated which imo nicer), would trade for black fizik tape (I am a boring man).

I voted black but I can see a different color as well.

I am going through a similar thing, white bike, white cables, black saddle and was going to go with black tape... however I can't find any. Instead I have this soft gray fizik tape I may go with... 2018, year of change.

Flouro yellow FTW!

May as well be obnoxious 'cause the rest of the bike is rather staid

Have your cake and eat it too--that sweet bike needs both:



Or just throw off the shackles of decorum and go black and white splash...

I vote black stem and color of your choice (but neither black nor white) on the tape.

If you're going to do white, make sure you get non-sticky tape and flip it over when it starts to get grungy.

At least that way, you'll have 2 uses of the stuff before buying new.

Supacaz has some pretty sweet tape options with lots of color or subtle color accents.

Agreed ... Black bar time ages much better ...

Rode my Paramount in this same colourway with black painted steel fork, bright white frame, and all black cockpit. Seeing this kind of makes me regret repainting it ...
