Split my old bike in half in a crash recently, new bike is almost finished! Only things I need to do is get bar tape, bottle cages (and new saddle as my old one was a bit end of its life)
Question is what colour and brand for these?!?

Bummer about your crash. That is a clean split. Carbon is a trip the way it brakes. I like Supacaz tape. Little expensive but it has a good feel and last for a long time. To be honest I would go with black because the bike has too much going with the paint job. You will just clash it with some colors.
It’s a cool paint job, but don’t go overboard on the rest of it. Let the cool frame speak for itself. Yes, several companies make loud bar tape that would match it, but if anything, I’d go with a grey that matches the frame, and MAYBE some bar end plugs that compliment the decals.
Put purple/pink supacaz bartape or something on it and it’ll look like a clown bike.
Black Cinelli cork tape.
Clear protection stickers on the headtube to prevent cable rub.

I have kind of a similar thing going on. I just left it black and black, probably would look best for you too.
I’d get the black fi’zik tape with grey specks. Subtle but still interesting.
