Is it going to be an old school ride?

If so I would drop the 'speed blue' and go for:

White frame - yellow forks & Bars to match those wheels - with a mixture of chrome and black components

its going to have to be blue to match her car

I still think that a contrast of White and yellow would look the nuts.....

The blue looks a bit too modern to be old or retro.

i want to go for blue with white forks and bars, but im not sure what colour calipers would work.

its foing to be fairly white and blue, with only a few yellow bits.
