If you stripe it, don't do white. If you add a contrasting color to the whole bike......maybe.

I say yes but I'd go with another color but you said you don't like 3 colors. So the white stripe is better than plain.

I'd go with the stripe. I think it looks good but would look better in red

I like the black and white. Maybe a little thicker though.
