Bartape question - looking for a color
 
I am just wondering if anyone knows where I could snag some cork bar tape that is similar to this purple/lavender color on my frame?

Just wondering.

Contrasting

try cinelli tape...I seem to remember the combo being available at one time with white in it.

EivlEvo 05-07-08 06:55 AM

Yeah Cinelli has white/purple speckle.

Otherwise you could go to the insane amount of effort and die some white tape?

dangerscott 05-07-08 08:01 AM

Thanks. Apparently Cinelli no longer makes the purple (or at least I can't find it) but Soma makes purple Thick & Zesty

You have no choice but to use splash tape.

xg43x 05-07-08 03:04 PM

White tape would be best.

bikeM3987 05-07-08 03:13 PM

-1million on splash tape. :(

or, pink, and make it like an easter egg bike

i know alot of people hate trek/bontrager stuff, but you could get their gel bar tape called "iris". and you can get it in an argyle print too. fack yes

SkyeC 05-07-08 05:42 PM

Black tape.

Let the frame speak for itself.

im not down w/ an easter egg color scheme
i think it should have white

dangerscott 05-07-08 07:24 PM

I thought about white but want to keep it as a backup in case I don't find a matching purple. Which at this point it looks like I am going with white, easy to find in cork and will match my other white things (saddle, clips and wheels)

neverjared 05-07-08 09:33 PM

Jeez. I got so excited about a color matching thread! Then you ruined it with that picture of your frame. Couldn't you have a white frame so we could match it to your white belt and maybe some white fizik tape?

God. Where are your Deep Vs and cycling cap! I've been waiting for MONTHS for a thread title with "color" in it and this is what I get? BORING.

I think there is a thread about spray painting your frame. Read it well.

dangerscott 05-07-08 09:41 PM

Don't make fun of my super cool white belt and cycling cap.

neverjared 05-07-08 09:43 PM

I put on my white belt and cycling cap.

dangerscott 05-07-08 09:45 PM

I never take them off.
