The frame is gorgeous but there is too much red and frankly the brown saddle just don't go - first lose the coloured chain ring bolts - they never look good - build up a pair of classic wheels - campag record hubs to match your record cranks - and some lo pro rims - for tyres simple black or gum wall will do - you probably could get away with a red saddle and red half taped bars - but I'd probably go for black saddle and bar tape - the thing is that that barpole stripe is so eye catching - the bike does really need anything more than a set of tasteful classic components - you wouldnt be the first person to build a bike up then strip it down and build it up a different way
