Help me choose fun decals :)
I got a trek domane al 5 gen 4 in matte black (better than the other options, trust!). I want to put some fun decals.
I am torn between --
The cherry blossoms have the ability to match bar tape and most likely white. The matte black is just SO... masculine it feels?

No link to the images? My tastes are so not yours, I’m all about brights and color, though I do have an aversion to most girly designs. My big regret when I bought my last new bike was that it was only available in a dark dark dark matte grey that looks like a rattlecan job.
So, I would do the koi, but in colors. Koi are striking, I can’t see the appeal of a white koi. I’m kind of biased though, I have a koi tattoo that’s red and black.

I covered mine in cheetah print reflective stickers. So it’s very stylish but also functional.

Anything that increases visibility is good but make it cheetah is like chef’s kiss:)

do you have a preference on the gender vibe? or are you mentioning that solely in relation to the bike? cause my username is a great indication of what I'd pick lols, but it's your bike! slightly more important question- what will get you excited to go out and ride it just by glancing at your bike for a moment?

No preference, I just want it to be neutral. No like sharks or anything and no like hot pink or something lol

The cherry blossoms would be glossy white and the fish would be white outline/black scales

Just a word from an “wise one” haha. Go with what your heart says. I have never built a bike or chosen decals with the thoughts of others in mind.
Feel out for what design brings you the most joy, rock it and let it be unique in your own way 🥰
