Oh and new BB coming soon. As you can see I went a little overboard

I would bend that V noodle inwards to get a better cable/noodle overall curve.
Or start with one bent more, you don't have to live with 90deg ones.

Yeah I'll look at it tomorrow, appreciate the input. Never been great at installing vs on canti frames

The blue tyres are the way to go.

You can not possibly make a proper judgement with orange reflectors still stuck on the wheels and not taking it for a night spin in moonlight.

Is the too dark Brooks upsetting the balance and wants all contact points to be black?

The blue tyres are off, Woz, did you not the note from the carrier pigeon I sent? I've had the blues and I didn't like it. Now as soon as I took them off, I thought it looked boring. But when I put them on, it's too much.

Boring and safe it is for now.

I quite like that but it doesn't look comfy, rather have comfort and be able to ride it than another bout of the blues and a sore arse

It's hard being a bike tart. The frame is really nice - is it like a clear coat lacquer?

The blue decals are rather small, so anything blue to compliment them with volume will appear to over power them.

It's an age thing mate. Park that up at the BMX park with blue tyres and grips and the kids will think it's rad and be all over it.

Clear coat lacquer, yeah, I think so. Frame is amazing, super light.

Of the blue bits I only really like the pedals to be honest, they've got a nice light blue colour and they're minimal

The grips are even too much

And yes, I'd get street cred from the teens if I rolled up with my blue peter

What about complimenting the decals with say a set of quick releases or maybe cabling in the purple colour....between that and the pedals it's about all the colour splash it needs!?
And next pic....no reflectors...
