Wait? Jeans need cleaning?!

Ok, I do clean my bike but not after every ride. But it looks clean (most of the time) because the bar tape doesn't look dirty ever, and to me, that's pretty sweet. I also don't clean my car every time I drive it and it looks dirty from time to time. If I could find a car that looked as good as my bike... Oh, that's another subject.

And btw, colored bar tape is awesome! I just don't get white, that's me point. But we've sufficiently hammered this one to death, and I apologize for carrying the thread down this rabbit hole.

okay okay! Sorry about the chain I just cleaned it and put the wheel back on so I put it on the big ring for the photo. The bars are at a "crazy" angle and I have toe clips because i'm 14 so a) the 56 frame is too long a reach for me and b) I can't afford clipless pedals yet.
Saddlebag is for obvious reasons and sorry for not replying sooner thanks for all your suggestions!

So what color did you/are you getting?

They knew something about you that you didn't know yourself!

"So I've been thinking of changing my bar tape to a more interesting colour than black…"

Gray

I don't know I'll probably just go in to a shop and see what looks best in person taking into account all the suggestions I've had here
