youngoldbloke The older I get, the faster I used to be ... 20 Jan 2011 #19 White front, red back. Or you could get the frame resprayed, and change the bar tape and pedals!

(and yes i know it needs a good clean ) Click to expand... Where do I start? I'll just about forgive you for not having any celeste on it.....just! (the water bottle doesn't count) Change the bar tape to white and pedals to black or white, then get some white or blue tyres. I still like your bike though

palinurus Velo, boulot, dodo Location Watford 21 Jan 2011 #22 I'm with you on the white bar tape, mine goes grey pretty quick. I've decided that white bar tape is for a different class of cyclist from me. I saw this guy at a cyclocross race last year who had white bar tape. He's going to win, I thought. He did too. Me, I'm just a black tape kind of rider.
