Beautiful bike! Particularly love your harlequin bar-tape job! My wife/I just did traditional bar-tape with twine and shellac on my Salsa Casseroll the Rivendell way. We did try to match the leather trim on my Gilles Berthoud handlebar bag. However, we really admire your bar-tape with the alternating diamond colors at the bottom. My wife wants to do mine again and also use an alternating scheme to do either the same thing you did or similar. It's way beyond my skill, but she's an excellent gift-wrapper and makes homemade ribbon bows so I think that translates well to wrapping bar tape.
If not too much trouble, could you post some more pictures of your handlebars from some different angles? Below is what she did for my bars. Not bad for a first attempt! <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-43nZxxKJ-v0/Wf39bjIvU2I/AAAAAAAADvo/Rbx7c9q0LgI9K6UIMUwPDj1OITDjb-3qQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1015.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gTMrVy4voCs/Wf39b-gCZzI/AAAAAAAADvw/5kgULJMztsU5paVLZcns-dg7C_0PF3v0gCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1018.jpg> On Thursday, November 2, 2017 at 3:43:23 PM UTC-7, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > Ian A asked a general question, but I suspect might have meant something > specific.
