Quick one: wrapping up a winter bike/crit race build on a 1999 Trek 5500 USPS (Full DA-7700).
Random pics off the internet to help:
Bars, seat post, stem, saddle all black.
Tires: all black or black with the blue stripe? They will be Michelin Pro4 Service Course Comp:
Thanks for your opinion!

I've never liked color coordinated tires but to each his own.

Cheers, Principe. Got that gumwall look on my Colnago Master Olympic with them Vittoria Open Corsa SC... looks like I'm going full black. Thanks
Blue-walls.
A part of the appeal of this bike is the graphics. Why go with the tires everyone else on the road is running?
