  In case the matter comes up again, I decided to go with caramel coloured Oury grips, which go surprisingly well (though not matching as such).

  I'd still be keen to see any photos of bar tape on a flat bar.

  I've searched not only this site but Google, repeatedly, trying to find pics of (a) any B17 users with flat bars; or (b) any flatbars with tape. If anyone is aware of any such pictures, I'd be grateful to be pointed in the right direction.

  Apologies to those who are offended by this thread. I'm just looking for ideas. It may be trivial but I'm struggling to fit the final piece in my jigsaw and appreciate the advice.

  Really? Tape on a flat bar? Has it been done?

  think you'll be hard pressed to get grips matching the leather seat, unless you go with leather grips / tape

  Why not just white ones?

  Yeah, I didn't necessarily mean a straight match - I was also interested in whether anyone had found a good complement.

  Unfortunately, they're all a bit on the narrow diameter side for this:

  Hi, once again, I'm embarrassed to be starting this thread but I'm really stuck for ideas.

  On advice, I'm switching to a flatbar, thus prompting a need for grips. But I'm struggling to find any that suit my colour scheme of a light bluey-green and white bike with a honey Brooks saddle. Brooks make some but I'm not overly enamoured with them.

  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  Snide comments also welcome.
