Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hi guys, so i was looking to change the bartape on my CR1:



The plan was originally to change to a white Fizik one as i've heard it cleans up easily.

But i just saw this Flanders pic of Boonen on cyclingnews:



And i thought it would match well with the black + red (+white) scheme on my bike as i've done with the Toupe saddle.

What do you guys think? White or red and black?

p.s I have no idea what brand and model Boonen is using, so if you guys could fill me in on that it would be great.

I think the red and black tape would look great. I'm not a fan of white though, as it gets dirty way too easily. You have red accents on your bike that the black/red tape would complement also.

The red and black would look good. Fresh white will look better.
