I'm restoring this bike, but I'm now happy with how the yellow parts look. Any ideas? Thinking about black instead

Agree. The yellow does not contrast enough, nor does it match enough. That’s a tough frame to spruce up with parts, color-wise. Maybe a some type of green, or dark blue
I’m not digging the yellow either, I think it drags down that great paint job. I’m thinking blacks then a gold chain, that would really make the frame pop. Maybe some gold accents elsewhere, too.
I’d try to match the teal/blue from the downtube logo.
I normally love yellow accents but it doesn’t compliment the frame finish here. The frame itself is pretty loud and while black may be a bit boring it would probably work best here and let the frame do the talking
I think different tires could bring the yellow to life
The seat guts is backwards and your chain is too long, too.
I’d go for silver brake cables, silver pedals and teal grips. Imo its best to not overdo it. I would also suggest removing the reflector strip from the tires. With that said the bike already looks great mate!
The yellow picks up the gold from the frame paint, it’s a good match.
If you introduce another color it will be too much. Too many notes.
The yellow pedals are just a little over the top, too much. If you swap those out for black (gold?), I think it would look nice.
needs one of those yellow KMC chains
