i think if the seat was more yellow it would balance it out a bit more, as it is the eye is drawn to the tires.
 
I have toned the red down on mine, and removed the Panaracers as I think it was too much.

Same here, ditch the tyres.

Otherwise, good.
 
IMHO it looks OK. Well proportioned colour scheme, nice!
Do you have a nick name for it? Hows about the Bee!!!Buzzzzzzzzzzzz!
