Bikes: Bikes??? Thought this was social media?!?

Ooh Well

I can't help about the shape I'm in
Can't ride, ain't pretty and my legs are thin.
But don't ask me what I think of your wrap
I might not give the answer that you want me to.

Now when I talked to GOD I knew He'd understand
He said: "Stand by Me and I'll guide your wrapping hand
but don't ask Me what I think of your ride
I might not give the answer that you want Me to."

Ooh well

(Apologies to Peter Green + Fleetwood Mac)

I thought you all knew this

Tape, saddle, cables and tires must match.

And they must be black.

Unless you are a pro that has mechs looking after the bike after each ride. Only then should you experiment with colors.

For my own bikes, I like Supacaz or Performance . for b ikes I am working on for friends or flipping, I go with cheapo cork.

Can't go wrong with black.

Fizik tape matches the Brooks saddle, Brooks saddles for me is only either black or brown. (Geez, when did I turn in to my grandfather who bought a new Chevy Impala every ten years only in blue ?)
