as promised, here is the paris carbon in progress.
anyone think i should go with yellow conti GP4000 instead?
the bars are a direct transfer from my r33, i am thinking i will go to black tape? but maybe yellow tires will balance it?

Wow, that is awesome. Yeah, I think black tape and yellow tires would be cool.

Flipping gorgeous. And motorists for miles around won't be able to ignore you with
all of that yellow. Wow!

White tape.... leave everything else as is. :thumbsup:

black tape, i think white would start to look dingy... Yellow tires might be cool. Do it

 

[jimcav]

interesting suggestion on white tape

i hesitate to wrap that. i wish i had photo shop skills.
i will pull my rolf vectors of fthe carbonissimo, put them on this and snap a pic--that will get me the yellow tire effect.
can't wait for the time to get the chain on and derailleurs adjusted and go for a ride.

a sexy bumble bee in the end

the yellow gp4000's might not match. I think their yellow is a little more orangish.

Yeah, be careful about color match. With the large-ish black spokes I would stay away from yellow tires. Maybe yellow accents on the saddle.

How many miles on the Topolinos? - do you like them?

none on this set

have another set with a few hundred, like them alot--smooth out the road nicely.
the spokes are dirty yellow, so maybe they would clash with yellow tires
i'll try to swap out front wheels just to see.
