Not 100 percent on the yellow and also dont want too much black on it... may go with some black grips and a straight post 1st

Ditch the layback, leave the grips matching the seat though and maybe change the brake levers to Tech 3's or 4's other than that it looks great  :daumenhoch:

I have some silver tech 3,s and an odd red one ,but couldnt find any gold that werent silly money, I will trade the seat post for a straight one but will see how it rides 1st ..
