so i scored myself a pair of NOS , kevlar tioga psycho's, in the super rare gum/natural rubber/amber color treads.



im looking into some kinda-matching grips and possibly a saddle.

ideas so far:

grips:

saddle:

or maybe this one, unsure what the color actually looks like, and if it is still available:

any other suggestions from my fellow retrobikers?

Nice find.

I reckon the Vans Waffle grips would look OK but the matching saddle might be a bit much. But tough to say without seeing the colour of the frame and components (and if the colours are complimentary or not).

Ultimately, it's your bike - so whatever you're happy with will be right.

Let's have some pics when you're done.

liking all the suggestions so far, although anything brooks is too expensive for my blood...but very nice.

design-wise, i am totally just thinking out loud here....

mostly black bike, frame bars, stem , etc, with the tires, seat, grips, and possibly pedals all kinda matching. perhaps even a few copper/gold ano parts dashed here and there. maybe a sort of steampunk themed bike, if you will.....

anyone seen something like this before?
