Real men rock White bar tape and just the part on the drops is dirty and used (runs off to clean the top half of my bar tape) ;)

Can't believe I'm admitting this; but after a heavy roller session when I'm glazed in sweat I make an effort to wipe it on the drops to make them look more used.

How are you getting on with the bars? I've been looking for some compact drops with a 26mm clamp and the ones you've got here seemed good value. Would you recommend them?

Really like them, as well as being compact (in drop and reach) the top is dead straight which makes using them easier on the wrists.
Also I imagine this would be a good bar with hoods because of the same lack of vertical sweep. Superjoe's lovely brigestone is an example: http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af63/shackleton03/DSC_0194.jpg

With a negative sloping top tube like mine, it doesn't give much room for your hands when they're in the drops, and with the bars being compact it can be easy to hit your forearms on the tops. Not really a problem unless you've got a lo pro-esque frame.

That's a lovely build Jambon.
