I didn't like the blue knobs. The only other blue on the bike is the propedal on the rp23. this bike is black, white and lime green. I'm on the lookout for a green king headset (non dolce vita)
you dont need a clear coat. if you had polished the knobs (as in...made them shiny and mirrored) you might want to clear them to keep them from oxidizing (as in...looking raw like they look right now) but even then its not needed. polished aluminum will fade a little but a quick once over with compound brings it right back.
