All this debate about apostrophes is inappropriate. We should be concentrating on split infinitives and dangling participles.

Just carry a tin of pine tar if your hands start to slip on those tapeless bars......

Put in end plugs for safety. Personally I think tape just looks better, carbon is nice but tape adds color and comfort.

just an update
I went with the original plan of installing some slide-on textured rubber grips:
I liked the nudie bar more, but this will do i suppose

Don't let strangers tell you what to do. Run it raw if you wish. Take the hoods off too (to?) to (too?) match.

I can see the appeal for those preferring a slippery handlebar bar and that not-quite-done-with-the-build look.
