If your friend wants photos i'll sort some out

Those Photos,...
Provocative, or Revealing?

I'm with @Tsundere on the saddle. Brown was old man tat in 88 surely?

The grip tie-in, whilst justifying the saddle colour, is playing cultural "double or quits"

This is how it happens!

I know, thats how I ended up driving 500 miles to buy a Giant Halfway

Yeah if you are looking for rules about what makes a bike look "correct ", I might not be your guy. I'm just interested in making them look good and function, not follow what's "proper". As evidence, the photo I provided earlier as an example of grips, saddle, and black post looking good had a dropper post. I don't even know what "double or quits" is, let alone "culture". Do what is right for you
