Bar tape colours

I can think of so many other uses for bar tape than bars

I usually keep it the same colour as when I buy the bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Saddle bum]

Frame is Helyette Green, except the carbon bits. Everything else is red, transfers, pedals, bar tape, saddle and saddle pouch. Best tyres are red, but I don't use them very often.

I have a white saddle too. Every now and then, when the Mrs is at the cake making, I just get her to re-ice it.

You could have icing on the bars too, then when you start flagging you can lick them.

Every day bike(s), then it's black. Best bike is blue to match frame.

Bar tape should always match your rims, tyres, cable sleeves, cable ends, saddle and bottle cages.

I quite like the New York Cabbie finish on that Langster, it's just a pity it's a Langster.

Always had colour-coordinated blue on my blue-framed bike, but I haven't put tape on my fixie yet, 'cos I wanted to wait to see if I was comfortable with just the front brake, leaving the option to put the back back on if necessary. I'm comfortable now, but somehow I haven't got round to putting that tape on. It looks like crap, but the rest of the bike looks worse, so I figure what the hell.
