Now that we are past Memorial Day it’s fashionable to wear white.

I think she looks clean and fresh.

Looks lovely. You've achieved a perfect saddle <> handlebar level position.

Which goes perfectly with the 11-40 XTR cassette on the rear wheel!

White tape looks great, but I never can keep it clean. You're bike looks great though!

Looks very comfy and built for the hills. I love a white saddle and bar tape. I was out with my club at the weekend and realised I was the only one with anything but black bar tape.

Never been a fan of white bartape and saddles 🙈
But I also don't like white shoes...

At first look, the white color is very striking, and the overall combination is very good.

I always try to do white/white unless it just doesn't make sense. Solid move!

Has anyone figured out which white bar tape cleans up the best?

Looks great.... but with the white decals on the weels must be more nice.

I just searched and Fizik doesn't seem to make it any more but their old 'Superlight Glossy' is the easiest white tape to keep clean that I've ever used.

I like the white/white combo. Here it is on two very different builds of mine (the Cannondale was not built for me):

This one also got white hubs, bottle cages, and cable housing:

I had a 2012 Cannondale Evo that was mostly white with black as a support actor. That was one of the few times where it was hard to not do black/black
