Just did my first ever bar tape job. I have ridden since christmas without it, so I'm very pleased with the result (it looks thinner in the right side, but I think it's due to the cables placement). It was more tricky to do than I thought it would be. My girlfriend first reaction was that the bar tape should have been light green, like the rest of the bike, but meh, I like blue. Plus I get a new bike computer with a blue cover tomorrow







BTW: I carry my stuff in a waterproof backpack.
