silly question - what color bar tape?
I know this is a kind of a stupid subjective opinion. But what would look good on a black bike?
I currently have black bar tape on my black Gary Fisher Wingra (Trekking Bar) bike and its worn and wanna replace it. So what would YOU do? :D I wanna spice it up a little... yellow, too flashy? Brown, I like brown but nothing else on the bike is brown. Blue? not sure about that. White? might be good? Red? might be good as well? :unsure: This is the bike a few months ago. http://i37.tinypic.com/2drtd39.jpghttp://i35.tinypic.com/v7b9sz.jpg I took off the handlbar grips and extended the tape all the way around since then, but the tape has gotten yucky. Any suggestions would be great :D |
Red, White, and Blue might be best.
I like The Back Bike. Here is Yellow and Black. http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...s/Bartape2.jpg Red White Blue http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...7-15-08019.jpg |

I would think maybe a red and black tape. Give you a focus point, draw attention to the treking bars, since they are different from the run of the mill drops / flat bars. I'm not personally crazy about yellow / white / light colored tapes, in my experience they get looking a bit 'ratty' fairly quickly.
On the otherhand, my best beloved insisted that I needed 'Ger-Animal tags' for adults to pick out a matching shirt and tie in the morning... (Who says you can't wear a paisly tie with a checked shirt?) M68 |
Cinelli Lux. It's got a reflective stripe down the center of the tape. Looks really cool and is really useful on a commute bike.

get tape that matches your riding colors. i ride a black road bike... and my colors are black + red :P. if i were to own the bike i'd go for something black or something red.
i think blue would look cool, though. i wouldn't go for something black; throw a little color onto your ride! |
You could also get colored tires and\or saddle to match whatever color tape you want.
Anything goes with black. |
White. It'll make you go faster.
I can also see solid yellow. |
I've been thinking about doing this myself. My DoubleCross is black and I thought red bar tape, cables and water bottles would be a cheap way to spice it up a bit. Anyone done this? Got any pictures of the finished product?
