Cheers folks!
Himespau - I don't know if you were referring to my bar tape but it's good old Bike Ribbon - dirt cheap and what I used to use back in the day. Some people aren't too keen on the plastic-y vinyl feel but with a pair of padded gloves it's fine for me, and does wipe clean pretty well. (To be honest, it looks even whiter here than it really is due to over-exposed photo in the sun.)
