Hi all,

Just put a deposit on a Condor Acciaio in sky blue.

The chap in store recommended a white saddle, white stem, white bars with blue (Fizik) bar tape.
I have a feeling this will look like I'm riding a pig with the black carbon fork.

I'm more inclined to get black everything and have the frame the main focus as I love the colour.
Opinions please :)

    Why not black with blue tape? I would say black everything re the Rules but I am a bit fed up with black.

    PS - White is not a colour its just a way to demonstrate dirt :wink:

    Everybody likes different things, many have no taste at all, so go with what you want.

    All black with pink/orange bar tape. Or add a brown saddle and brown bar tape. Like those Condors, always look understated and classy.
