Looks scruffy after a while…
So do scuffed fork lowers… what do you want?
My favorite is fork legs covered in sections of old innertube, there’s always at least one on every uplift, extra points if its held in place with an unnecessary zip tie every 2 inches and even more if you go to the extent of doing the same on the chain/seat stays…
TBH Helitape is sort of accepted as the default tart’s dandyhorse armor these days, you’ll not have trouble selling a fork covered in it, that “Carbon Armour” stuff was just overpriced carbon effect vinyl wasn’t it? (in which case see my post yesterday on re-colouring your saddle)
