Building up an old Roberts..

Dilemma dilemma…

Black/ blue or what say you for the bar tape ?

Black. And ditch the skewer on the front.

Needs to be blue and chrome only, with black contacts.

Definitely black.

Lovely bike btw.

^true dat.
Contact points should be black.

IF you were seriously considering blue, it would need to be an exact match, which it wont be AND you’d need a blue saddle. Which, is wrong.

Bought off fleabay last week?
I was tempted, and i think you got a bargain. 😀

Uselesshippy..yep that’s the one.

Even cheaper than the fleabay price as well 😀

I am putting a wider drop bar on as well…hmmmm black ( with black bar tape) or a chrome finish ?

The stem is an orange p7 zinc colour

Campag skewer on order 😆

for asthetics. Chrome bar. It’ll be much prettier.
It is a lovely looking bike btw!

I’d go for a chrome bar with the black tape.

Cheers chaps…

And any recommends for the bar tape itself 😆

Soft touch/ gel/ classic aerated ??

😆

Cinelli cork is nice. Goes on well and last ages

Cheers .. Will look that up

Lizard Skin DSP tape is fantastic, but maybe not in keeping with the bikes character.

Having said that it can bought in plain black, so won’t be obvious.

:@))

Baby has forced a delay to my build

And possibly a rethink

Brown saddle w brown bar tape??

Brown Brooks saddle with with brown Brooks bar tape? Reckon that combo would look great with the blue frame..

No. Black & black.

Brown and brown
