Summer roadie is due its annual spruce up. It is a rather plain black and white colour scheme so I fancy adding a splash of colour by replacing the black tape. What's out there that looks a bit different? Half thinking about buying two colours and alternating. So maybe a blue one side and a pink the other.
Lizard skin do their dsp stuff in a lovely dual colour, it changes about half way along.
Erm... Nahhhh 😐
Will take a look ta. So bored of white and black, this is much cheaper than buying a new bike....

How about a bit of splatter effect from Cinelli for a 90's feel?

They have an excellent video on how to wrap it properly.

As the choice is either new bike or new tape, why not get proper spendy,

Bikes a a rose Xeon cars the White one with black decals. 10 speed sram force (more black and white) and cosmics, (more black and white with a yellow label). Black and white 3t finishing kit. Getting the theme 🙂
Now bored of black and white.
May even stretch to a new saddle as the (black and white) ariona isn't that comfy
'Erm... Nahhhh 😐 '
Do you ask your LBS to pick you something 'normal', bikebuoy?
🙂
That busyman stuff looks lovely. I imagine a little more than £25 though
The Cinelli splatter looks quite good wrapped - not the easiest tape to use, you really only get one chance with cork tape and the length supplied is pretty close to 'just about enough' - worth it for a tenner though
