Aesthetic decision:
The bike is an 80s neo retro. The eighties did things in a uniquely ugly way. I am trying to decide how far to go with this.
Definitely: Blue valve caps. Blue stripe on black tyres. Blue stripe on black Arione saddle.
Definitely not: Blue cable outers.
Undecided: blue bar tape or not?
I thought I had decided and ordered some blue hex tape which is nice. But it is blue. Blue bar tape. Can I ever get away with blue bar tape? But .... on the other hand ... Eighties!
Help.
