Very nice result. My kind of build and setup. I would have been very tempted to carry the green to the tape but I think your pics show black is the way to go. I hope the ride is as good as the eye candy.

I did think about that with the tape. I just think when I find some nicely priced C.F. wheels for this and put them on the bike will look more balance with the black at all 4 "corners". The bottle cages are temporary, still debating over black or some green alloy ones that are close to the color of the green. Or yellow....

First step out of bed this morning and I get a shooting pain in my right knee. I'm doing a test ride on it today no matter what. I just don't know if I'll really be able to do it justice.

For what it’s worth, it looks pretty balanced to my eye as-is. The bottle cages echo the chrome frame details and silver touches on the components, plus the brake tracks. The black elsewhere really sets the background for the frame at center stage. Hope the knee improves.
