I had a matte black frame and put a white saddle and bar tape on it – yes, the tape dirtied quickly, but I still liked the look

I think white bar tape was primarily just a cyclocross thing back in the day.

Do what you want! However, of my 3 road bikes only my vintage downtube shifting Pinarello gets the white tape (team leader, lol) treatment as it’s a Sunday driver. I am not a fan of all black/stealth but your whip looks great that way!

If it were my bike, white bar wrap, saddle, gold chain and tan wall tires. Done.

Not strictly fashion, but I was thinking about swapping out to white bar tape and a white saddle. Yay or nay?
No
I have a white fizik saddle that still looks white. The white bar tape will start to look dingy immediately after installing it.
Absolutely not.
No
No
that would look ugly and white bike stuff discolors extremely fast
Yes
Only joking, of course not. White contact points will get mucky and dirty before you can say “Look at my nice white saddle and bar tape”
Wouldn’t hate it to be honest. You’ll just have to deal with dirty bar tape.
Never, did I mention never?
Do what you want if you think it looks good and don’t worry what a bunch of randos on Reddit think.
You mad bro?
Also props for the shiniest bike I have ever seen.
No.
Nope 👎
More colours on the frame…….
Message received. No white tape.
This was the only time I did white bar tape. First picture was in April, last in November. So it lasted a summer season looking good.
