the tyres are Grand Bois, 30c, very light, roll smoothly and super comfortable (not exactly perfect for LFL with the lack of protection), and they're only with gumwall, black would look fairly generic and dull IMHO.
I have the bar tape ready but need to wait till I ride it properly to find out if the stem length is right.
I will use both cotton and cork tape on it, the cork tape going on first, and then the cotton tape wrap on top of the cork, I like the feel of cotton tape, but didn't like the lack of cushioning it give, this is the best way to get the best of both world.
