A lot of people use bar tape, like ghey roadies use... Good idea that with it being gel filled and coming in an array of colours to match most frames (not that I know anything about ghey road riding  ) |

I was one of those pikeys using a tube, dont! The residue left over was a bitch to get off, and somehow my paint ended up worse afterwards!
Now using an Endura one and its much better... Got it cheap from my LBS and it looks alot better, plus its removable and quieter

All the bearings have to be knocked out but the price includes stripping old paint/stickers/decals from frame.

It's a nice colour and I'm surprised at the low price. Where did you take it?
Matter of interest, how do they strip the old paint with minimal damage to an alloy frame?
