I'm quite pleased with the contrast between the silver frame and the orange fenders.
You will notice the upright-style handlebars, which were installed by the previous owner (along with the sweet Brooks B17 saddle). I'll likely try some other model handlebar. I don't think I'll go back to the drops - I hardly ever ride in the "drop" position any more - but I'm not delighted with the full-upright position, either. I'm looking at the Jones "H Bar"; It has an almost flat profile, but offers multiple hand positions, when taped up for such.
This is my post-retirement bicycle, so I've got time to tweak. Until then, it will probably serve as a "Sunday Rider" - I'll take it out for a spin on picture-perfect days. (The Missus should be thrilled that this geezer is buying another bicycle for post retirement, rather than a sweet La-Z-Boy. I'm a firm believer in "use it or lose it." I'm slowing down, but hope it'll be at least another 15 or more years before I come to a complete stop... or my kids force me to give up bicycling because it's just gotten too crazy.)
