Those are similar to the 3T ergonovas where the tops are egg-shaped/ovalized but Zipp does have the Vuka sprint road bar where the tops are as flat and aero as they can get.

Hell, might as well get it over with. After seeing ravenmore's Giant, I decided to go for the glossy black bar tape, but to be honest, I'm really not down with it on my bike, and I don't know why; maybe I'm just used to plain old Cinelli and Bontrager bar tape, or maybe the glossy color just looks a bit forced on my ride. I'm planning on Ultegra wheels later on this year, but so far, this is what I have:

I don't think you like it as much as ravenmore's because the overall appearance of his bike is set up more aggressive and IMO just looks better than yours (no offense intended).I think it looks ok on your bike as well. Just may take some getting used to.

Yeah, I know I've got a more relaxed bike, and honestly, I'm pretty happy with the way it's set up now: good enough to be happy, but not so good that I'm not setting aside money for a new bike.
Also, the black and white contrast used to be a good thing for me, but as I find myself switching out more white parts for black and more black parts for silver, the white is starting to get on my nerves. I'd really like to have something with less contrast, like a #333 gray or something.

When taping from the top down, the tape slides and becomes very ugly very quickly. Drive side is the WRONG side for the qr lever. Your bars look fine as-is.

No on the red Fuji simply because you used an iPhone5 when you could of used the money for more bike swag.

I say no on the Fuji because its simply not hot. Its an alright looking bike, nothing snazzy though.

You had to know you'd get called out for the aero bars, but otherwise a hot bike. Whats up w/ the wheels?

Thanks, I put the aero bars because I was doing the 70.3 in cozumel, My best friend she has a store that sells muffins and candy popcorn and the name of the store is Suiker.
