Change to black handlebar tape, black cables, black tape on the seatpost, and black rim logos, or even better just peel them off. Then get an orange saddle.
For the most part been there done that. For my tastes black tape and housing is pretty boring. Don't be like the rest of lemmings and break away from the pack. Black is so safe because it hides the dirt on the bars and grease on the housing, but I say invest $40 a couple of times a year and retape the bars.
I do agree on the wheel decals, but I'm not 100% sure I am keeping them so might let the next owner decide. I've yet to find an orange Fizik arione with carbon rails...but always looking.
Here it is in more murdered out mode. Thanks for the suggestions but not really for me. The more obnoxious the bike the faster you better be to back it up. Black tape = slow climber :devil:
I have a Colnago with Art Décor paint as well. Again not everyone's cup of tea but if you are going to ride Italian bikes they better have some flair, else why not just ride a Trek/Specialized.
This is my Dogma. Last sunday I rode her for the first time and I liked it a lot.
