Bit like go faster stripes imo and not to my liking but each to their own, it's your bike and if you like them then keep them.

Re: Rim tape?
Got to say I like the rim tape, got some blue tape to go on mine. Think certainly with black rims it helps to break it up alittle.

Re: Rim tape?
since the bike has castrol graphics i think no as the castrol bikes of the time didn't have any.
i have tape on 2 of my bikes that are in stock colours as i think it breaks the tyre up from the black rim and makes the edge jump out at you. and i think it only works with dark/black wheels.

Re: Rim tape?
I've got red rim tape on my black wheels, not to everyones taste but I like it and that's the great thing about owning a bike!
