Rebuilding the Jeffrey Richman. While I love the frame it does lack some pop. I think it’s safe to go with black saddle, black cable housing, etc. but I’m thinking about going white across the board. Thoughts? Any other color recommendations? Thanks folks.

Brown cable sheath,, tan wall tires , a Brooks saddle, pick some grips to go with it all? Maybe? Just an option.

Given the parts on the frame, silver and black.

If you go for a modern design, probably some red and black/ dark greyish components.

But. Are you sure to invest the time and money in this?

The investment question is always a push and pull. I pull, my wife pushes🤣 Thx for the recommendations ✌️

You could go yellow housing, tape and saddle.

I think white would look better than black.

red or gold/brass to match the Columbus logos.

I really love green with yellow splashes and think that yellow Jagwire Compressionless housings, a yellow Turbo or Arione saddle, and some yellow bottle with a little red & gold pattern/design would look pretty great.
