Another what Road bike 2500-3500

SLR? Ooh, how posh!

Seriously though, it looks fab. I'd have kept the white stem and spacers though, and gone with some nice white bar tape. But I know that white bar tape is very much a 'Marmite' thing with cyclists. I love mine, even when it's filthy, and I'd never have black bar tape on any of my bikes.

Did you get it from Pedal On in the end? Once Matt had persuaded me onto my Émonda for a test ride, the bike pretty much sold itself in the end, it was such a comfortable, well-fitting bike.

Here's to many enjoyable road miles for you now. Happy riding!

I'm the opposite ... all my bikes have black bar tape, white is an awful colour to keep clean at any time of the year. Thats said, stem/saddle/bar tape MUST all match.

To the OP, great choice with the SLR ... should be a very capable bike. Hopefully my SLR H1 frame should arrive soon.
