Getting the bars shoulders in through the closed design clamp was toight. I had a brief moment where i thought fuck this isn't going to work but i took a moment and put some electrical tape on the shoulders then greased the tape and whilst keeping the clamp wedged open with a 6mm allen key i was eventually able to shimmie and caress it through unscathed. The bar is a superleggera team carbon. I think I'm going to bottle it and just go with my tried and tested black Lizard skins tape and not the Rapha brevet tape and just keep the cockpit as plain black as possible and maybe add some retro Colnago chrome effect end caps. Probably the top ones as they'll match my re stickered seatpost. Just looked and i can get 3t replacement cover up decals in any colour so may cover the white with gloss black or Chrome effect if the white starts to annoy me. Does the fact that a little logo on a handlebar could irritate me mean i have some sort of problem? I mean i won't lose sleep over it but I've just spent nearly an hour and a half online looking at stickers and bar end plug options.
