(Most of the others are just black on black - Not many as flashy as that brown on brown - I'm becoming more conservative as I approach my 30th B'day

This is more about all the colors than just saddle and bar tape. But referencing those specifically: Black tape to match black seat post, bordeaux gold hoods to match 'cork' print saddle.

I no longer own these two, but I thought the colors looked great:
This looks great IMO:
Admittedly, I'm biased - but I think this is hands down the most beautiful bike ever assembled by human hands.
The gold tape and white saddle works well:
It's hard to see in the photo, but the red thread in the leather tape matched with the engraved Brooks looks really bling in person:

^ I really like the combo on that Pinarello! You got all kinds of fading going on there. I'm not really a fade kinda guy, but this is very classy and subtle.

Velognome, does that bike STILL have those ridiculous mini-fenders on it? You better take them off before we ride together again.

It is a 53 tooth and a 39 in the lower. it looks so big cause of the 39, i don't know why that came with a 39, usually i run 53/52 and 42 ish.
I am thinking about reshooting the bike again later on, i'm getting new hubs laced on it and i have the correct pedals to match.
if you would like to check out the thread it's here:

Once again, thanks for the compliments.
