Bought this frame from NurseHolliday earlier today as I needed a smaller frame for my tiny legs.

I've just put the basics on it and waiting for a quiet evening with my bloke to do the rest! Bit unsure about the bartape colours, was hoping to liven it up with some leftover Bontrager Plum Tape(http://www.thebikefactory.co.uk/img/pds2/09bo411138.jpg). Any other colour suggestions/suggestions in general?

Black, black, always black bar tape if you ask med. Nice frame, and those wheels looks so good.

Thanks RallyKalle, I agree, it would look lovely with black, maybe I'll have to invest in some more! Thanks for the input :)

I think it could look alright with plum! if you've got some lying around you might as well give it a quick go to see how it looks. It might compliment the blue, or alternatively it could look really terrible. only one way to find out!

White tape to match the graphics. Are the lugs lined?

Looking good already :)

Lug lining is gold:

Flash wheels!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
