Cervelo soloist - colour of bar tape

so i’m thinking of putting on some new bartape. i have one of those red and black team soloists. What colour do people think I should use? currently have red.

I like black (boring I know). I hate it when people put white on them. Don’t recall seeing a red one so can’t comment.

Alternating red and black might look good (and be hard to achieve :))

white
.

I hate you! :stuck_out_tongue:

LOL! I have white bar tape on my Tequilo…it does get a bit dingy after a few hundred miles, but I don’t mind replacing it every so often.

I have this thing against white bar tape on soloists, both the black and red carbon ones and the black aluminium ones. I think it’s team CSC’s fault.

Strangely, I don’t care on other bikes (yet).

Wouldn’t use it myself (unless I had a white bike) due to the dirt issue. Black hides a multitude of sins and I’m too lazy (and incompetent) to change it that often. Maybe I drool all over the bars or something :slight_smile:

I could sell you some red/black, sort of camouflage type pattern.

LOL my 03 Soloist has the white CSC styled bar tape. I like the way it looks. It makes the bike look clean. Well as long as you change out the tape.

White for sure :slight_smile:

or I’ve got black/white aswell which would look cool.

“Never try and match your main frame color with bar tape”

Unless you have a classic celeste coloured Bianchi and you have the matching Bianchi, celeste coloured tape.

I’m in new zealand…

Yeah I know, that’s why I said I could sell you some, your in Welly aren’t you?

Black bar tape is good, but switch to the red cable housings… got that on my R3 and looks awesome!

yeah…you here too?

Nah I’m in Auckland, but it wouldn’t cost squat all to post it to you.

thanks for the offer but might flag it right now. will consider my options though! ps dunno if you’ve seen my post about descending but bought a kona deluxe from bike barn and was a great descending bike.

yeah I saw that, they are even better now, they have teamed up with dedacciai to build all their frames. Really nice kit. If you need anything let me know and I’ll hook you up with a ST discount. That goes for all Kiwis on the forum.

speaking of ST discount…i didn’t wanna mention this at the time sixdog but going back to that thread from that guy on powerbar endurance formula anyone can get it at Health2000/Sportzone for 50 bucks…just FYI :wink:

hey i called in the other day and you weren’t in but i didn’t see any Profile Design stuff (wasn’t looking hard tho)…do you stock it and if so can you get me a price on the alloy armrests - i think the’re called “F22” - need the armrests and pads. if you can PM me pls, if not no worries…

sorry to threadjack

cheers

I’ll do better than $50.00, gotta look after my peeps. Yeah got plenty of profile stuff I’ve got f-22 pads here and I’ll get a price for armrests and let you know.
