Thanks for all your comments! It's becoming pretty clear that there are lots of directions I could take with the build.
Although I like the idea of white saddle/bartape, the lack of practicality would be a problem, I guess this would apply to yellow as well.
That yellow harlequin looks nice (the bike as well, link?), although I kind of agree with nutjesmoar that it looks like it would belong on something a bit more vintage.
Trying to match the saddle/bartape colour with the frame would probably be difficult and it might end up looking really strange if it's off.
Although I like what rat-racer did with his saddle here:
I also worry that having any kind of bright colour on the saddle/bartape would just put it over the top when combined with the colours of the frame.
I really like the idea of the Cinelli Caleido bartape, that would be a nice and subtle detail.
