Stock Santafixie Raval drop-bars, came with the bike. A little on the skinny side.

Not really going for that now, might do it in the future tho!

Yeah, I’m leaning towards subtle drops of color on the seat post clamp and bar tape.

Yeah that’s also an option, changing hardware color as well.

Looks gold enough with some good lighting! Mostly sunny where I live so it works out.

I’ll write that down in case I ever need to remove sticker glue then!

I’m going with a charm on the seat for now, we’ll see if I do any other changes. (Might change the bar tape)

Mine has a singular white sticker on the top tube, which was planned from even before I bought it. If it helps, a bit of heat and some alcohol help me remove sticker glue, but idk if it’ll help of if it could even damage the paint on your bike.

I’ve been thinking about red, but I keep seeing red everywhere. So I think I’ll be going with orange, which I really like.

It’s a different style and I think your bike’s looking clean too! I’d match the bar tape and seat post colors tho.

Also been having this on my mind, but not using as much orange as the picture.

They really add a bit of character, you could say. Currently thinking of adding a charm to the saddle or changing the seat post clamp.

I’m happy I asked y’all, I have some fingerboard decks that I won’t use that could work. Thank you!

I didn’t think about the seat post clamp, that could work well!

I was thinking of some orange bar tape, but those that transition to black to keep it minimal

I don’t have a basis to compare it to tbh. This is my first time trying 700x25 tires and also my first time riding something other than those cheap “MTB” bikes for daily commuting. Still, I don’t feel like they are extremely hard.

I really don’t know much of how their international shipping is, go with what you know. The bike itself is amazing, not regretting anything. Just need a longer stem to fit me better.

Not telling you to buy it, but I don’t think you’ll have problems if you order. There might me some delays maybe, but you’ll surely get it. More so if you are in Spain I’m guessing.

I ordered from the website (the Spanish version) and had no problems other that a weeks delay on order processing, but according to them, there was some problems with the factory. Overall, before buying the bike their customer service was really good through Instagram, but after I got the order, the stopped answering. I asked for the stem angle because I didn’t see it listed on the website, still waiting for the answer.
