if you want colour co then obviously blue wheels  but its i bike from the 80's and nothing seeemed to match back then
only the bikes you saw in shop windows so the  choice is yours you could always add black grips and or seat just to blend
at the end of the day its what you like the look of
good luck
couldn't you trade blue pads for black with someone ?

why did you buy the blue pads?

there's some black pads on the bay at the moment which would be waaaaay cheaper than re-investing in blue components. having said that chrome with blue components looks way better than black imo. this really is irrelevant without pics so slam the blue pads on and post up some pics so we can perve on your goose  :coolsmiley:

If you change all the parts to blue i think you'll get away with the tuffs if you put some blue tyres on.

get a pic up with the pads on, you might get away with simply changing the grips and seat to blue to match the pads  :daumenhoch:

2 colours on a chrome frame work well. Especially with black tuffs.
