I put tubes slid on my Soma bars before wrapping them in the Velo Orange sew up leather bar wraps.
it does look minimal but I didn't like the feel of it and the tubes I used (specialized) had moulding mark so were not 100% smooth kinda spoiling the effect.
They are a pain to slide on mind, a bit of washing up liquid works wonders but took about a week to stop sliding around. if I do another set I'll use 'hellerman sleeving oil' which is an oil used for lubricating little silicone rubber sleeves to slide on wiring as insulation, its a very good lubricant but after about 24hrs tends to go tacky.
