I was going to get red bar tape but changed my mind, I got blue but have yet to put it on.
I have not decided on if that will be too much blue.

I like the silver bar tape, actually. Nice link up with the Cannondale logo on the downtube. Blue can be over-done, too. Ask me how I know? I over-blued my Calfee Tetra!

After rethinking and posts here I have to agree with the silver bar tape as well. So I guess I have a new box of blue Fizik bar tape. I still in the back of my mind am thinking red tape but that is a stretch.( sort of a bold look really)
Thanks everyone.
Thanks everyone.

Nice looking bike. I'm not a fan of the silver tape, either and I agree that blue tape would be too much blue. Red, white or black might work.

Very blue. Blue bar tape would certainly be over blue. White would indeed work. I have white on my Tarmac, it stays clean enough but probably want to consider a redo after a season or two just to keep it sharp.

One of the problems of trying to co-ordinate colours on a bike is that one blue is not the same as another blue. You have to change to a different colour and then it doesn't matter if it is a red- along with a different red- within reason.
I had this problem on the Tandem as I started out with blue bottles- hubs- grips etc. It looked wierd. So I changed to red.
And The bike looks Good enough to ride as it is. The OCPers amongst will keep arguing about colour for years- Just get a red jersy-Black shorts with a red highlight and you will be fine- As in the link below.

The bar tape on it now is from Cannondale and it sits as it came , except for the seat, now a Fizik Airone(matching blue
),.

Silver looks snazzy to me-very nice looking setup. The only thing left is to flip the stem!

Nice bike! Can you get duct tape with gel or with a flat finish?

Oh yeah that is in the future ( I think I said it sat as bought except for the seat but I forgot I changed out the stem as well). It had a higher (12 degree) one when I bought it but I have lowered it as I got back in shape. Flipping the stock one would have been way too much but this one can and will be.

That low down position works for me. Bars on The OCR were raised to be level with the saddle- But Boreas and the TCR both have the bars 3" below the saddle now.
