White sprocket, white seat, and white grips would make that bike sick.

Maybe a white chain to balance the grips but ikd.

That would be sexy. I love the yellow suburbans that are built with all black parts. I actually love yellow frames but there is nowhere local hear to get anything painted and my home paint jobs always suck. haha
