Thinking of changing bar tape
Ok, so I've recently bought a Giant Revolt 2 that is grey and black in color. As of now it's completely stock with black bar tape and seat. I was thinking of going with a dark brown brooks saddle and dark brown tape. I want to have a bit of a classic look on a modern bike, only problem is I'm not sure it would look good on such an unusual looking bike, such as the Revolt. Anyone have any pics that could help?

1. It's your bike so the only person it has to please is you.
2. It's only bar tape. If you try it and decide later that you don't like it, $10.00 will buy you new bar tape in any color that you think you'll like better. There's no easier way to change the look of your bicycle.

I ask because if you run a lot of drop, like the racers do, then you need a seat like the Swallow.
If your seat is nearly level with your handlebars then something like a B17 will also work.
