Keep the rim tape mate, it's scientifically proven to make the bike go faster!

If you look closely at my pic you might notice the dice valve caps (previous owner). Too much even for me! They've gone in the bin..

The rim tape is here to stay tho! Until the wheels go in for powder coating that is....

Snap 2, same colour as mine that I picked up at Easter... Silver is the best colour combo IMO... although black is nice, and red, and that funny bronze colour..
What exhaust is on yours as looks quite similar to my MTC carbon jobbie. ?

What colour is the rim tape mate, im considering silver or black on mine or maybe just a couple of small Aprilia stickers. Can you get some more photo's added soon

bought it sunday, insured monday, mot'd monday,
played five a side in the evening, saved a shot(well tried too) and pulled a tendon in my little finger, which in turn chipped the bone, currently taped up, fortunately the guy has fitted adjustable levers, which can only fit two fingers on
for the time being the gay tape stays!
