Thanks guys!
So what do you think of my old Trek? |

White bar tape is not practical. What if red tape/cages, black/red tires? http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/...psf1ac00aa.jpg http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/...psf4df1368.jpg |

Throw on a black saddle and you bare getting there

Both deda and fizik make white tape that isn't porous and cleans easily. |
Also, white bar tape does fine. I generally replace mine a couple of times a year, or after approximately 2,500 miles or so. Considering how cheap it is I don't think that is too bad.

All black is very easy. :)
Yep. White Fizik will work. And I have all white Romin saddle [on my wife's bike] ... Thanks everybody. |

too many bikes without color. some improvements: change seatpost (silver Ritchey), remove gold spacers and replace with silver, and get some speedplays (maybe yellow, preferably stainless) |
Ok. This is how it is for now. (blue tire will go) And i will change the pedals.

It is not half-half. Black is only 30%. I can't make it more black than white. I could get all white but it would take more time. I need to ride (people started to worry) :)

I usually hang out in C&V... should I stay there? :)

You are in the right place but I would take off the bag, change to black tape, and would adapt myself to sexier saddle (white, if you like white tape) :)

http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4331f018.jpg Here's an example of the one bike I have with the candy cane bartape. Not perfect, but very close to evenly wrapped: http://i.imgur.com/dsFNTl.jpg |
The problem will be solved once I will get in mail white Fizik tape.
This tape was a take off, not from the box and i did not invest much trying to install it right. But everybody who does not like has a valid point. Thank you for compliments BTW. |
Need some new age CAAD in this thread.
Replaced my china carbon with this. 2012 frame, 2013 Force. Weighs in at 7.00kg on the dot. Trying to get it to 15 flat with a little tuning. Mind my stack and valve position. Temporary. http://i.imgur.com/wXcUP.jpg |
