Ok so the bike's basically finished - cabled it up, slapped a chain on it and rode it around the neighbourhood a few times. Fits like a glove and everything seems to work as it should. Now back to the bartape issue. Thanks to @dancing james I've learned that yellow and purple are UKIP colours which is a bit irritating. Granted, no one here in Sweden knows or cares about it but still, not something I want to be associated with. So while I had almost settled on yellow cloth tape I am now open to suggestions. There's a lot of colour already so I think black or white would be as much of a contrast as any other colour, i.e. there's no safe and boring option. Discuss please.
