Current Projects chat and miscellany

Thanks.

You are right - matching bar tape would look better. Those bars were actually meant for another project which will have a black concor saddle. However, i have an issue with brown brooks tape. It never looks as dark as a brown brooks saddle. So i think if i did change it to match it would have to be a black saddle and tape not brown. Don't really fancy buying a new saddle!

The frame is Argos - doesn't show very well in the pictures - Wilson decal I added myself because my surname is Wilson.

I had that issue. I found that repeatedly wetting it with salt water and rubbing it in had a similar effect to sweat over time, making it darker...? Worked for me. Additionally there are other brown bar tapes, not only the brooks stuff, which is really overpriced anyway.
