Thanks everyone! The bar tape is Masi cork tape, i'm not sure what the color would be called.. cork? natural?
@Dustintendo the chainring is 42t. But I would probably keep the triple unless you really don't ever think you will use it or it is bothering you or not working properly or something. This set up is working great for me for commuting, but I might end up putting on a triple when I do some touring this summer, so just keep in mind what else you might use your bike for.
