White tape, saddle, hoods, cables, toe straps, bottles…yep, definitely works for me.

It does take years, however. I built that bike up with that saddle in 2007 and it was my go-to bike for 13 years. I tried a couple other white saddles to replace it, but they didn't work for me. And I figure when I'm on it, nobody can see the worn patches anyhow.

My son could probably restore it to like new. He likes modifying sneakers including leather ones and has the special paint.

Is it the same stuff they used to sell for nurses, who used to wear white shoes, back when they wore white uniforms and those funny little hats?

I don’t know. It’s from a company called “Angelus.” He knows how to apply it without brush strokes. He repaired one of my saddles with scuffed up corners.

Not limited to black. You can also find orange which isn’t in that link. Here’s my black Adarga tape with red fusion tape to finish.
