Saddle / Bar tape colour

[FiveAlpha]

I have a resprayed frame arriving soon (colour: Bob Jackson Blue Odd 3), with chrome lugs, forks and rear end. The decals are grey, as are the cables. It's a late 90s job, and I have brand new Turbo saddles in black and white. Components are late 90's / early 00's.

Normally, I would go white saddle and white bar tape, but the (Shimano) hoods are black, and I don't know if it will look awful.

Anyone have opinion/thought/experience of white tape and vintage black hoods?

Thx

Here's my Eddy Merckx with the black hoods/white tape combo:

Thanks to all - both of those bikes look great. The white saddle it is. Now to find some suitable white tape!

White, white & white........ but they are a bugger to clean!
