The bar tape is black cloth. I will likely apply black cork after I locate a left brake lever. Also new hoods, but it is recommended to safe keep the present W hoods.

I inspected it closer today, removed the added kick stand, some paint work will be required on the underside, true rear wheel and remove rust or hard grime from several spokes.

Mounted on my make shift bike stand, checked out the derailleurs, the LeTour GT300 is very smooth, front will require a little adjustment, as it is low and the chain rubs when set on large front, large rear, (a setting I rarely ever use on my 80 Conti.) but should not occur.

Thanks for the appreciation, it was hard to explain to wife why I brought this home, since my 73 SuperSport was to be last project bike this year, (it is almost done!)
