Winter project nearing completion, but I am having decision paralysis on the last few pieces. I’m thinking of a honey colored Brooks saddle and color matching bar tape (shallaced cotton maybe). Then some tan sidewall touring tires. Which in turn would all match the honey colored leather of the bag.

My biggest questions are color options for the saddle, bar tape, and tires in contrast to the blue of the frame? And on the subject of tires, what would you choose? Wheels are 700c, and I think 32s would fit.

Oh ya, and eventually there’ll be hammered silver Honjo fenders when I can find them.

    I used to race back in the 80s and many people double wrapped their bars. Found an example of it but not my pic.

      I haven’t had (enough) coffee and I’m really not wrapping my head around how you do this

        It’s more complex looking result than the actual technique. It sort of looks like 4 starts, 2 red, 2 white and becomes a maypole wrap. Less starts than this image, and tape being closer width to pole.
