My Radioshack Custom

Nice build but bar tape spoils it IMO, needs white tape and white hoods will look awesome then, or black tape with white hoods will also work.

Look, that bar tape needs to go. Please go read the following page and review the photographs posted there.

If its a bit of a chore to read here are some selected quotes:

 

"The Splash here matches the frame colors, so it should look good, right? Well it doesn't. It looks horrible. The tape should be solid white or black, or possibly a solid silver/gray"

 

"The lesson here is that we should not keep Splash tape at home, lest we be tempted to use it in an emergency."

 

"The Splash tape on the bike above makes it look like a messy horror story. A solid white tape would transform it into a uniquely colorful but still elegant bike"

 

"That's why I say, don't keep Splash tape at home. And I will add this: don't buy Splash tape at any price! No matter how cheap, even if it's free, you're better off without it."

 

"When you want your bike to be unappealing to thiefs...Splash!"

 

"Well S.K., we all did crazy stuff in the 80s and early 90s...the important thing is, you know the Splash tape was wrong."

 

"I think it's self-evident by now: exposure to Splash tape can affect our better judgment. So let's be careful out there, alright?"

Skinned a cow perhaps?

hey velo,

 

that being said, until about a year ago, i had some lumo splash tape on a bike ('92 cannondale 2.8) i recently converted to a s/s (btw, thanks again for the brakes!). anyway, a few years back when i first got sti's, the guy at my lbs lovingly replaced the original tape on the bars - he obviously knew real style!

 

so if anyone knows where i can get new lumo splash tape, please let me know!

Sorry, like the guy says on his site, friends don't let friends go Splash, so if I do manage to find lumo splash i'll be keepping that info to myself.
