NoPresentation255 on June 12, 2025 4:20 pm That’s a personal choice but will say that imo fresh bar tape makes any bike looks 100x better.
Me_lazy_cathermit on June 12, 2025 4:21 pm Yes, if only because it would match with the saddle, but i love leather and things that perfectly match
Weird-University1361 on June 12, 2025 4:30 pm I had a similar build and went with brown leather. Looked pretty good IMO.
