Match the color of your eyes! Say, what color ARE your eyes?

BLUE!

The tape Aicabsolut picked out looks pretty good. Something to pick up the light blue stripe.

I like white too, but think that would only work if you're obsessive/compulsive to clean it after every ride. In my life, that wouldn't happen.

I would like bright RED on that bike. Especially if I could get something else near the back of the bike that was also red, like accents on a saddle or something. I like red. My car is red. All my jackets are red. My bike is not red, but if I ever go custom, it will be red.

This must sound so wrong , but I love dirty white tape, the patina of old rides showing. I clean my tape, like, twice a year.

That blue will look good, though.

The tires look really good on it. So I want to match them with the bar tape.

Funny story: a couple of weeks ago I brought my bike to the LBS for them to install a new chain and cassette. The owner was on the phone and there were two other people waiting for him. Men in suits - I don't know if they were insurance guys, missionaries or what, but they didn't look like bike people, which was reinforced by the question one of them asked me:

"Excuse me, ma'am, how did your tires get blue?"

How did they get blue? Just then the shop owner got off the phone and came up front. I was in a bit of a hurry, but mostly I was so dumbfounded I couldn't think of how to answer that question.


PS - my eyes are brown. Don't think that would look so great with the bike

Stripe the black & blue!

I was asked if my SPD M505 pedals were broken.
