That stand is made by Minoura, I bought if off the net but don't recall who from. They are not hard to find though. Doesn't work on a fat tired 29er, but fits everything else I have.
Since you can spot a GP bike, you probably know who they are! Black ink art from many years ago.

the top one, im gonna go out on a limb because i cant really tell, and say its doohan just because doohan is known for his #3 (Rothmans Honda)
also because schwantz and doohan would make some crazy racing back in the day.
really nice pieces though! am i right?

You asked, so here it is... ugly, kill it with fire. Nice bike otherwise, cool garage as well.

every bike should have some yellow in the ensemble. i applaud the immaginative use of bar tape to correct the oversight of not having yellow in the paint scheme.

I like the yellow. It looks good the way it is.
I personally like matching color elsewhere on the bike, primarily in the tires. Take a look at what I done here.
I also have a smidgen of yellow on my saddle bag, and a yellow water bottle as you can see.
But that's just me.

Do as I say, not as I do, plus my tape matches my bottles which I got because they were 10 for $20 on Bonktown. I will soon be rocking the slime green handlebar tape to match my new kit as well as now trademark tires.

You know, since most road bikers look like parrots that got thrown in a blender I'd have to say that your bar tape looks pretty restrained. IT's bright, doesn't really "go" with the white/red bike but it's not bad either.
Just wear a chicken suit while you're riding, nobody will notice the tape.

The bar tape is fine. Nobody really cares. Asking about it after the fact is the lame part.
