Black. And ditch the skewer on the front.

Needs to be blue and chrome only, with black contacts.

^true dat.
Contact points should be black.

IF you were seriously considering blue, it would need to be an exact match, which it wont be AND you'd need a blue saddle. Which, is wrong.

for asthetics. Chrome bar. It'll be much prettier.

I'd go for a chrome bar with the black tape.

[url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lizard-skins-dsp-bar-tape/ ]Lizard Skin DSP[/url] tape is fantastic, but maybe not in keeping with the bikes character.

Having said that it can bought in plain black, so won't be obvious.
