White Gloves

I bought some - they were going cheap on CRC and I needed some "warm but not too warm" gloves so it semed like a good idea at the time.

On the positive side the fit well, are warm and are not at all bulky. Plus they are Seeyourhandsignalsinthedarktastic.

However they are also a bit Michaeljacksonthrilleresque and I'm sure they won't stay bright white for long.

never had white gloves but i'm sure they're a bit like white bar tape - look good once then they start to show their age. Having said that, if they were cheap, why not...

Won't they get covered in snot now that winter is appearing?

You could get some of those kid's washable fabric pens and go out with a fresh n' funky new design every day!

At least I can put white gloves in teh washing machine, bar tape is a different proposition. My Bianchi i recently bought has white bar tape, that definately needs changing. I'm tempted to go for Italian flag stripes - or is that too tarty?

Microtex is easy to clean too.

Zebra not for me. Celeste is good except my Bianchi is Red hence I reckon

will fit the bill?

Not going to be easy to get a good wrap on tri coloured tape though, might have to get some gel pads to go under the contact spots.

I imagine it wil be easier without pads as the bars will be more uniform in shape making it easier to keep the overlap consistent. or have I missed something?
