Have you got the bar tape wet and rubbed the ink to see if it comes off or gets lighter ?

Re:

I rode it to work today, it rained on the bike quite a lot whilst it was stood at work.

There is very minor deterioration on the left hand side, by the shifter hood, where the tape is quite stretched, just a little fading on one logo, but i'm being picky, the right side looks fine.

The original tape all the logo's had worn off the top of the bars, so It's bound to happen again eventually.

I do use this bike a lot, so in a month I should have a better idea of how its wearing.

Thanks for the interest.
