  1. Black seatpost, black cranks, rims without a visible braking surface would make it all look cleaner, in my opinion.

  2. Keep the color scheme the exact same, but upgrade to more bling parts (sram omnium silver cranks, Thomson seat post, Brooke’s saddle, Wound Up forks, titanium riser bars, A FUCKING FRONT BRAKE FOR SAFETY)

  3. It’s already pretty clean but:

    – With the saddle that high, I’d consider a larger frame maybe. It may look more sleek with less seatpost showing.

    – Black post would also be cool like someone else said.

    – Matching wheels – either both silver or both black with no braking surface if you are not running a brake. If it were me I’d go both black.

    My first thought to make it look cooler was “get it way from the Prius.”

    Nice rhythm of silver and black, the bike looks the business. A front brake and Paul E-lever maybe.

  5. YES…  ask us what parts to buy to make it look cool.. so you are conforming to the current cliche trends.. so that the next time you post it you get a bunch of likes and you feel happy

    Better drivetrain, (sg75 or the likes), matching, brand name wheels (hubs specifically) clips and straps instead of BMX pedals. Most people get a baller chainring like a zen or aarn or something, i would definitely recommend that in this case, higher quality gumwall tires, brand name carbon cockpit, nicer saddle, and an actual seatpost clamp instead of a quick release would probably be a good place to start.

  7. Personally, first of all I would ditch the quick release seatpost clamp, and install a regular silver one

    Change the front spokes for silver ones as well, and a silver rim to match and have the braking surface blend with it, and also change the front black hub for a silver one

    Keep the black fork and stem but change the bars for a silver Nitto drop bar with black rubber barends, like those used in keirin races

    Would also change the black foot retention for some light gray shade to match all the silver, but ideally I’d add clipless pedals

    And then add a light brown leather Brooks saddle with silver rails

    You might need a larger frame – that much seat post throws out the proportions of the bike
