Default Looks better with or without penut tank?

This is my second build. Goes like a "scalded dog".

Went with an apple juice tank in the seat bag. But now I am wondering about the LOOK?
Wanted to preserve the original schwinn look, but not sure it looks right?

I am including a pic of my other bike with tank.

If you plan on painting the tank the color of the red bike I would say peanut tank all the way....

Red bike for sure. I like the tank in a the bag way better. Peanut tank is just the same as everyone else.

Is that a penut or are you glad to see us?

i really hate those peanut tanks, but on your bikes it looks ok, 'cause it's got a chopper look to it. but the red one does look cooler to me, the big gusset in the frame gives the impression of a tank.
