Would look nicer with bronze bar tape and a tan saddle.

Yes i did think about it hmm

 

[N-plus-one]

The tan wall tyres look just fine with the bike colour. It's a super project you have managed there. The bike shape and colour is absolutely lovely!

The latest upgrades for Christmas. I have finally fitted the 3T ergon team carbon bar ive had for over a year allong with some Dura Ace 7800 levers, Ritchey classic 90mm stem, Lizard Skinz 2.5mm bar tape and Dura Ace brake cable set. So thats a bit more weight off the bike and the bar setup is way more comfy so far. Hope everyone has a nice Christmas.

Some of the parts.







Part way through



All fitted up, Quite happy with my first bar taping job.

I recabled my Atala like this for exactly the reason you mention. You get a much smoother loop round the head tube area for each gear cable, with no outer rubbing on the paintwork and wrecking your finish.

all my bikes are criss cross, so the housing doesn't rub through the headtube paint. whatever floats your boat'

excellent bike •

Cheers, Its all clear helicopter taped on rub areas so were good there. I even did where it clamps in the stand and under the down tube as i don't like paint damage.
