I've got the black gel bontrager bartape for my TT bike ... very comfy.
I like your blue bartape better with your bike though.

. I liked the saddle, except that it was expensive and caused me pain.

Here's where I'm at with the custom carbon hybrid. It needs a little more eye candy though... I'm thinking maybe red nipples, and a red spacer on the fork. Oh, and the word "hybrid" on the top tube in reflective red! I thought about doing a brown seat and cork ergon handgrips, but I'm not sure that would go well with the red accents.

Looking good Mike!
Claiming hybrid with that one is kinda pushing the line between hybrid and 29er and I'm all for pushing that line! You have a very nice collection of bikes. A dedicated rider of hybrids!

G,day Mikey I,m sure I remember complimenting your build somewhere before and nice it is.
There's loads of bling bits to look at on ebay like colored nuts bolts and jockey wheels thats where I got mine.

Many here (in Kyoto) have been bagging me about my saddle on the Cannondale so I gave in and swapped it with my Orbea's.
Both saddles feel equal to me and I guess the swap may look better. (sorry for the road bike image)

Can't seem to go to sleep, so might as well post a couple of pics. This is my 21 speed 1994 Raleigh CT400, and I'm the original owner. Been a great bike so far, though I keep thinking about replacing it with something more modern like a Jamis Coda Comp/Elite or something in that quality range.

That's why I've held on to it so long. I've experienced seller's remorse after selling a couple of meaningful (to me) things in the past, and years later still regret having made the sale.

Dawes Mirage 06' and it rides smooth. I'm surprised I got it for £200 brand new. I've done mega millage when I was living in Hertfordshire just outside London. The bike has met its match being in Scotland.
It's only four months old. I know I've done more than three hundred miles in Hertfordshire. Scotland its done way more and I've only been here two months.

How is a 2006 only four months old? Haha. Nice ride. Nice pictures. Post more pictures of your bike with Scotland behind it.
Here's one more of mine.
Pit stop in Lafayette Park.
