The red tape was chosen because I wanted to try Benotto tape and it was the most fitting colour available without having to order it from America at 4x the price. Personally I quite like it, though it fits better with the other wheelsets.
It's not any lighter than the Deda tape it replaced so if it's really uncomfortable then I'll be swapping back to black.
The drops do have quite a long sweep to them in real life as well, and there's a 95mm saddle to bar drop. My camera's nothing fancy so I doubt it would be the cause of any optical illusions.
