Velo Orange porteur bars, amber shellacked orange tressostar bar tape

The main body of the Tektros (the part that connects levers to the bars) is painted in silver, with "Tektro" painted in black. I stripped it with paint stripper and dulled the aluminum finish with #0000 steel wool to create a more vintage, generic look. The bar tape is orange cotton tressostar tape, with four coats of amber shellac.
