Stripe the black & blue!
I was asked if my SPD M505 pedals were broken.

I have dark blue on my Cannondale now, it looks okay but is a little too dark like the black. I had light blue, it looked good but not right with the Maxxis tires I was running. Now I am back to black and may do the lighter tape again.
Blue on that frame is great looking, let us know what you pick. That Specialized looks nice, might have to try it.Amanda

I'd do yellow bar tape, just 'cause I have yellow on my blue bike and like it a lot. (yellow was on sale, and I was being cheap when I bought it). I have grey silver tires though.

Fizik microtex (regular, not "soft touch") is really easy to clean, even the white. It is, however, not at all cushy. I don't have much of a problem keeping the white S-wrap clean. I used to have the blue, and I had to clean it almost as often. A shop around here uses degreaser (like White Lightening clean streak) to clean bar tape. I've seen it work really really well on the S-wrap.
