What color bar tape? I'm thinking black since the saddle is black and seems a bit out of place without anything to match it, maybe if I find a yellow Turbo or Flite I'll go with yellow. Don't want to do white. Any other suggestions?

Only regretted one sale so far - practically gave away a set of 584x32 tires that would be perfect on the above track bike and will cost about $80 to replace
I sold one last night. Asked for $90, but got $100

My singlespeed road riding is all fixed gear. Got an ACS 17t already in the parts bin if that changes though

Very tempted to try a black/yellow harlequin for 4"-5" on the tops, but I'm wondering if it would look too cheesy. I think harlequin wraps look a lot better when the contrast isn't so drastic.
And thank you, I'm loving it too

Specialized used to make their classic bar tape in two colors, main color with contrasting colored holes. A black with subtle yellow dots would work on the above posted machine.
Ahhh... WhyFi beat me to it. We even both used the same description... subtle.

Trek/Bontrager makes a couple types of tape with peek-through, now. GrippyTack (I think that's the name) is awesome and my current favorite tape.

I've never looked at that tape in person, though - are the colors distinct for each hole or do you get some transitions? Not wanting to see transitions is nit-picking, I know, but I'm dumb enough for something little like that to be off-putting (for my personal purchase and use - it would look great on the bikes of others
)

Good point, I see some holes that have two colors coming through. I'd want each hole to be a single color as well.
