Like the red cotton bartape. I think I have to do the same on the Gazelle, but what colour?

Brown.

Thank you, great advice.. I was just looking at newbaum's tape, they have a deep purple, and brown yes, also khaki which I like. And its cushioned.

That Khaki is lovely...

Beautiful.., Nice patina and a bike most of us could actually maintain ourselves; what's not to like !

Is that yours or a library photo ?

The Holdsworth bikes up to the late 70s were ok as far as I know. Tell me more please.

I'm referring to the mid 80's ones when they'd been sold off to another brand !
