Opinion: what kind/color of bar tape for this???

[sales guy]

Need an opinion on what kind and color of bar tape for this?
Kind of thinking tan or brown leather.
Just note....it will be this paint scheme on a disc cross bike. So slightly different set up.

[ColonelJLloyd]

Tan leather sounds good. Can't fail with simple solid black, either.

Brooks cambium slate
Tan
Black

I don't think you can go wrong with any off them as long as you match the saddle.

[Villgaxx]

Pink & green Splash.

I am in for tan or homey color. I recently bought some of the Brooks Microfiber honey on Amazon for 13.?? And its really nice stuff. Like Fizik without the stitching.

[sales guy]

what about this?

[type2sam]

Tan...definitely.

[echelon_john]

white post, white or UJ stem, red saddle, red bar tape.

[Aaron O]

That bike should look right with a lot of different things, but I actually like the basic black.

[KonaSS]

I always like to pull out a secondary color. Red would look great.

[tv_vt]

Blue or white, I'd say on first glance.

I say red, also.

I also normally try have tape help an accent color instead of the primary frame color, but in this case I would not go for blue or red because of location of the blue and red on the frame. Too close to the tape, the tape blue or red won't match the blue and red on the frame and the difference will be distracting. Therefore, I would avoid the blue or red and allow those colors on the frame to speak for themselves. I would choose either white to allow the frame accents colors to stand or I would go with tan that others are recommending to pull out the logo color.

Black bar tape and black saddle. It will make the frame stand out more.

[josephr]

white saddle, silver seatpost/stem, blue/red harlequin tape. :beer:

[brenick]

Red for me. :banana:

[sales guy]

What about the brown tape with the red stitching i put up a picture of?

[cadence90]

What is the color of the saddle?

In any case, I cannot see tan/brown working with those colors at all. Just way too out of the family, imo. I think black, grey, or silver would work better.

Cool Thomson post and Lake shoes.
Had not seen the post before.

I might just get some black Cinelli and be done with it. Who knows.

[eric01]

Might be hard to find bar tape in red or blue that matches the same shade as the red or blue in the frame. If the shade is off it will look distracting. I vote for a tan color or black

SAles pal, I think this will complete the "package"

[bcroslin]

red

[cnighbor1]

Use two tapes to give a two color effect
Red /white Red / blue white/ blue

[Tickdoc]

Red on one side, blue on the other, and that Union Jack seat is a must.

Pfffft, you two are so behind the times! :(


There is only one choice for bar tape on this bicycle.

[sw3759]

[brenick]

I really like the SupaCaz tape.

How about this one:

Or maybe just buy some plugs in red to go with black tape:
