Personally, I like the Splash Tape, and I am sad that it is now really hard to find in the U.S.
But I have a question:
Can a bike forum member living in the United States please tell me if they possess or carry the Black and Purple, or Blue and Purple splash tape that they are willing to sell?
I am willing to make a good offer for it.
Thank you

I voted #4.
I think splash tape is perfectly fine...used on the proper frame. Definitely late 80's to mid 90's. But on the right frame splash or other flashy tape is that last little tweak that sets a bike off.
Go fade, go purple!!!!
EDIT: Damnit, didn't see the zombie thread aspect! LOL! The eggplant looks great too, very impressive.

IIRC, Berthoud makes leather saddles with a finish that kinda looks like those tapes. I believe thy call it their "Natural cork" finish.....
I dunno, but I think they look kinda Icky/fugly.....like mold is growing on their saddles....

I went with #4 on my Ironman. Probably have a hard time keeping the white clean.
The solid purple looks great on yours, though.

Purp n' white harlequin could be a cool option for a future wrap.

Has potential! I'd have to figure out how to do it, first, though. Or convince my girlfriend to figure it out - I'm sure it's a straightforward technique, but she's craftier than me...
Fade looks Brebla's Ironman, too!
