Bar Tape to match Flite Bullitt?

[Neilios]

Hi all,

Interloper from the MTB forum here. I recently acquired an early '90s Arthur Caygill tourer, which I've done a light resto on - basically just a major service and a really good clean.

I fitted a Flite Bullitt saddle and some modern Fizik bar tape, but the browns are way off. Long shot, but does anyone have any recommendations of bar tape that would be a better match for the saddle?

Cheers,

Neil.

First of all, that is a lovely bike.

Ritchey 'Classic' bar tape might be closer? Although maybe it's a bit dark? It's a tricky one.

Would the Brooks leather tape be closer? There are other leather bar tapes less expensive. As SJC says a lovely bike.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

I was looking at Brooks, but it feels like I'll end up buying a saddle to match the bar tape!! Thin end of the wedge situation...

That Ritchey stuff does look close-ish.
