I dunno, they look pretty close, I think it might just be the light/shadows causing the slight contrast.
That's a sexy looking bike tho.

What don't I like ? Well for one, it has gears. Also, I think straight legged steel forks are ugly.

Nailed it. To come will be a longer reach quill stem and some maes bend bars. These bars are terrible, but they were in my parts bin. Also going to swap to a sq taper and more appropriate cranks.
