"Wrong, The pink bar tape is lush. Needs a full wrap though."

We might be talking about a beater here, but certain rules still apply, such as treating your bike with dignity.Bar tape is generally black or white, while needless to say there are exceptions; natural leather for instance is perfectly acceptable on vintage bikes.

If you just so happen to be leading Giro d'Italia, by all means fell free to celebrate and wrap your bars in pink.

ok?

No foot retention...

The owner of the Bianchi said he saved it from being scrap metal, and just used spare parts to build it up as a beater.

also wish the bars were fully taped...

I actully think that leaher bar wrap is a relativly modern gimmick to give new bike a vintage look. If you look at old 60's-70's race/TDF bikes they have black and white bar wrap but a lot of of colour to..

And to me the whole point of a beater is to deprive it off dignity and treat it like shit.. :-)

^Mixing up vintage and retro no?

I haven't got an issue with colour.

Bikes are a little bit like women, treat them..." You may treat your bike rough, but never without dignity.
