going on a great deal of 'yes' from various forumengers, I got some imitation Benotto tape, and despite looking kind of right in the photo, its waay too orange in comparison to the other bits of yellow on the build
thus I've ordered so tressorex cotton tape (cheaper that the newbaums), scoble be praised.
also rather like doing the tape in the 'merckx' style, (backwards, no sticking tape on the tops) anyone had any experience with how long it stays neat for?
Spotter, I reckon this shiny orangey stuff would look great on the Alvarez if you built it up with chrome parts...
