Shimano 105 SLR.
Right enough identifying Shimano 105 parts and more bar tape chat. I don't really like the leather stitched bondage look, or cotton tape that has had the shellac treatment. I like the bare cotton look best, that three-way harlequin is brilliant, but there's no way I'm even going to bother to try it.
My bars (dirty white cotton tape) look atrocious. I did it at the end of a long long day in the workshop as a 'fuck it this will get me home' job, and I haven't been bothered enough to improve it since.
I appreciate others' efforts, but I don't really care about my own.
