Hi all,

not sure whtether this will spark any interest.. But I was looking for inspiration.

Lots of people today buy black bikes. Perhaps >90% of bikes sold, come with black bartape, black saddles.

I will most likely buy a boring black bike and that can't be helped, but I like the idea to spice it up with a less boring -if not quirky- bartape. Or saddle, or even screws..

So.. I would like to see what others have done to liven up their bikes! As long as they don't have black bartape :mrgreen:

Nice account, too bad they don't post too many entries.. I had already searched for #bartape, but I mostly see the same stuff over and over.

Quite reluctant to post my extravaganza, since it's double on a heavy Al bar and there's a moderator present.

That is an absolutely stunning Spooky, I bloody love alu bikes (or anything that looks kinda raw in a proto stleee), is that raw or painted silver?

Thanks! Its clear anodized on a raw frame but i suspect it's somewhat faded/scratched since new in early 2017
