    White or White?

    I'm sure Raam will be along shortly to tell what's acceptable.

    I'd actually be tempted by blue to match the saddle, but ultimately I'd probably plump with black to hide dirt.

    Well if it's a life changing decision I suppose it's allowed!
    Just do a Merckx and have the white bar tape changed by someone after every ride, problem solved:D

    Takes a little skill/patience to get it fitted right, but nice when done properly.

    believe it or not, household furniture polish, such as pledge is good for cleaning bartape, especially any that contain lemon
