At the club auction last year I purchased 3 rolls (yes, 3 rolls) of bar tape for....£1!

Well they have been sat there for a while, so I thought...why not....



What do you think smile

I´d have taken that old box to the recycling bin first. Spoils the picture.

My Focus Mares comes with pink bar tape and partial pink seat as standard so I wasn't going to not buy the bike because of the colour :-). I really like it actually, not sure about the seat but if I get annoyed I have a Brooks Team Pro Vans as my back-up saddle

Looks OK to me, just let your legs do the talking if anyone ribs you about it.

I can't see the picture thanks to useless work internet, but I'm partial to a bit of pink - I used to really like the kit and bikes of the old T-mobile team. In fact if anyone knows where I could get one of those jerseys I'd be very grateful.

Looks good! I'm not a fan of white bar tape at all, but I like a bit of colour to brighten up dark bikes. And if the pink gets grubby, you can afford to change it more frequently at that price!

I went for the half and half look on my Boardman:

I like it. But then again I can't say much when you take into account my down hill bike.

What is up with your shifter position?

Have you got small hands?

No that its relevant to the topic but no my hands are normal. I had pretty much just unpacked the bike from the box. The bike is now set up 'properly'
