What look best on a white color frame?
Moderator: robbosmans
I have a white color bike frame, my wheels, stem, bar and seat post are black. I currently have a white saddle and a white bar tape but thinking for a change, cosmetically.
Do you all think the bike would look better with a black saddle and black bar tape? I kind of think that it will makes the white frame pops and should look good. Anyone who has any examples are welcome to share. Thanks!

Pics would help, but I usually like the look of black even on a white frame

Mine has black carbon SMP seat and black bar & tape, I like it this way along with white seatpost and stem. The white post and stem make the frame-post-stem look like one unit, and with contrasting black other bits make it pop, I think.
Less is more.
Either white on white or black on black but it depends on the bike scheme and other components such as wheels, stem, bars etc. My bike is white on white and don't fee that BoB would look as nice...but if I had BoB ENVEs or other wheels then I might go with all black setups. Also consider that many prefer black saddles and tape because it requires no cleaning and lasts a LOT longer.
google pictures will help you to find examples

This is my bike currently.
I think I will most probably switch it to a black saddle and black tape combination. Below picture gives me some indication of how it would look like. Picture from abovecategorycycling.

White saddle and tape will not be white after a while whatever you do to keep 'em clean (unless you don't ride it). So you end up having a bright white frame with saddle and tape that are not exactly white. Black will stay black and will always look as it should.
