Retromod on 9 speed, what does mod stand for? Nice bike and I do like the bar tape.

Yes I know, just not modern to todays standard. One of my favourite groupsets, fits lovely with the frame.

I like the bartape, good match of white and blue.
Re:
Thanks for the replies all.
The blue is original yes - it's a bit tatty in places but I actually like it that way (I did think about getting it refinished but decided against it). It even has hand painted 'Paul smith cycles' on the top tube.
The bar tape was a bit of a try out, now it's on I'm pleased I've done it as I like it.
Ref the retromod discussions, I suppose art of this is all driven by the fact in my head a 20 year old ergoshift gruppo is modern, but that's questionable!
What I'm most pleased about is ive always wanted a rourke, and I'm proud to ride it!
