No excuses, I just enjoy a well-color-coordinated bicycle.
They are this color:

Is that even a micro adjust seatpost or is just some ****ing pole jammed down your seattube? Lame...
it's one of those old tapered end posts that has a clamp that clamps onto it.
and yes, this thread is even lamer than that bike.
brakeless without foot retention. s-m-r-t.

oh well, it's such a bad bike that it derailed the thread in the very first post. ****, it represents everything i can't stand in a bike build...

I know, I too find that build rather heinous. But, as I said in my first post, it's not mine, only has the same wheelset. Unjustified e-hate makes me cry a little bit inside:(
um, im not sure. you will have to look to decide. what can we do that you can't? look harder? i dunno go to LBS and look in person?

Yeah I say take the wheels to your lbs and if the blue doesn't match then get white instead.

Try that. I have it on my bars...it's more of a royal blue than the picture shows. Worst case, you waste $2.84.

Match your handlebars to your saddle, unless you're going tarck then just get whatever neon bright color you can find that is the total opposite of your color choice.

Haha what saddle is that? My bike's almost all-white, including current tape, so I want some more color. So blue tape or saddle or 3/32" chain (which are impossible to find). SheistyMike, I think that blue is too bright. When I first bought the wheels I went to my LBS and bought the Profile blue tape, and it too is too light in hue.

Yeah, it's way darker than it is on the site. It's actually darker than my gp4000's.

It is weird that the first post I agree with in this thread is Deathhare.
Why do you give this guy so much crap when he is just asking a question about bar tape. I bet you guys all rule at tarck bike.

Agreed, especially when you post stupid replies before even reading my entire first post

The Ambrosio blue is not as bright or saturated of a blue. I don't know if there's a bar tape out there that will match the blue of the wheelset pictured in the first post.

Any saddles perhaps?
