Hi everyone,
Thanks for your replies concerning what tape originally came with the Raleigh International. I guess I worded my post poorly, as I wasn't trying to find out what tape is original. Rather, I wanted suggestions on what color cloth tape *would look good* with the copper color.
I can confirm that white plastic tape came with the bike originally. I have the original tape that came with *my* RI. ;^) I'm just a little color challenged and was looking for suggestions regarding aesthetics. So far, I've had white, black and green suggested.
