Oooh that is pretty. I love orange. My mountain bike is orange and it makes me smile just looking at it. Love the bars - I have those same shims on my Trek road bike and they work really well.
Happy riding.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

you may know this, but let me pass it on anyway -- a little GREASE LIGHTENING gently rubbed on your tape and then wiped off will restore your dirty tape to sparkling clean!

I have celeste bar tape on my Axis, and of course it would get pretty dirty while I was riding this winter. I found that a sponge and a bucket with warm water and a little dish soap worked wonders (I was a little nervous about using water at first but it's been fine).
I'm sure my neighbors thought I was a little crazy, outside on my porch in 20 degree weather, giving my bike a bath with a sponge and dish brush every day before bringing it back inside...
Edit: Oh btw, I REALLY like your orange tape!!!Last edited by VeloVT; 04-07-2007 at 02:43 PM.
