What color are the stem and the seatpost?
Bar tape? Saddle?
Carbon or alloy shifters?
Can't make a good style decision without considering all the accessories. A pair of black brakes on a mostly silver bike looks hokey. Ditto the opposite.

Ironicly the Ti looking ones are the stainless and the black are the Ti ZeroG's. I think you would have to pay the added cost if you wanted to get the black ones.
I like the black better
*edit* I just saw the 07 SS is avalible in black, all the previous models are the silver color

Yea, I just saw it in the "bike storage" thread.
They have to be black - the silver version screams "I couldn't afford the black ones." Overall what you've put together looks pretty darn nice - I'm a big fan of black/gray industrial. My next project is to build a 100% gray bike.
Trust me on this, the black ones will make your bike look far nastier.

And straighten out that saddle. Jeez, I'd think you've been here long enough to know.

I prefer white brakes to be white like the old DiaCompe Royal Gran Compes. Those aren't.
That said I like the "white" more than the black. Black bike components are way too early 2000s anyways.

I agree with 55/Rad, they look great the way they are. FWIW, my Toupe rides best when level, I guess that's just another indicator that we're all built differently.

I guess my humongous sack needs the saddle tilted down more...
