SHHHH....ur supposed to keep that between you and me, now all of C&V knows.
Generally i avoid anything dirty let along riding on grass with all my steeds, but with this one i have to be extra careful cause i hate cleaning the sidewall, yes i clean the sidewalls, doesn't take me long, but it completes the look. These tires have been ridden for a season on and off so they've kinda gotten that permanent dirt. but are still white, not the same shade of white as they were new though
and yes i do pick up my bike and carry it over puddles on the bike paths.

It is FUBAR handlebar tape, i think this company is geared towards fixie kids or whatnot but the tape was what i needed, Gaucho777 is right that pelten does make similar tape, i believe their tape is a little softer, the FUBAR stuff seems to be a little more dense and harder. BUT the nice part about the FUBAR tape is that it's not cork, so it doesn't get dirty easily because it's white, we all know how white cork handlebar tape looks after a while, blah....
here's the link for the FUBAR stuff:
