My bike came with white bar tape and I've never felt motivated enough to change it regardless of it looking dirty.
I might go with black or red tape the next go-around if i change the saddle, if not, it's staying white.

White is right!

Yah. But, for spastic oriented people, we tend to somehow spread the grease about. Gloves or no gloves..

That's it, let's burn him.


JK. Who actually pays any attention to such trivial things?

Not sure if I like mine, but I got a deal on the white seat and had to match.

+1, I love my filthy white tape.

I do like a clean drivetrain however. A dirty well-used bike with a clean drive train is the typical look of my bike. My favorite feature is dead bugs on the head tube (a result of my massive top speed). the entire bike does get cleaned every so often when I ride in the rain.

My white tape stays pretty white without any cleaning, and does clean very easily. Fizik Microtex FTW.

Nope! I dont give a dam what colour they are! That is all.

i saw a bike with orange bar tape today. that's pretty rare and looked really good.

obviously this post has nothing to do with white bar tape.

Green Apple is the new White. :thumb:

I like my white tape when there are nice hints of blood adds a character

+1 to that

I have white bartape because its what came on the bars. I'll prolly change it either this summer or fall.

Until then, WHITE POWER :D

Bah Humbug 03-14-10 05:28 PM

Bah. If I'm ever choosing bar tape, it's black unless red goes with the bike (or brown to match a leather saddle). Mine came with white, and it's very dirty. It annoys me, but not enough to clean or rewrap. I'd never want white on a bike I meant to ride a lot.

Blood does add a lot of character. However, I think I am just too lazy to change it myself to a more color-coordinated tape.

Well, the white tape instantly helped this bike look better.http://alphabluetech.com/kj2/fotos/a...isLeTour1a.jpg
