On the two bikes where the bar-end shifters would otherwise contact the top
tube, I use this JandD pump strap to both secure the pump and protect the
TT.https://www.jandd.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FPT
On my commuter which doesn't have the above issue (and doesn't have a pump
under the TT), I wrapped the TT with some bar tape in the two locations where I
commonly lean it to lock it or strap it to a post on the train.

Hello,
What do people do for Riv-ish top tube protection for their bikes?
Clear stickers like helicopter tape don't seem very Riv-ish, tend to peel off
and look a mess after a while, and possibly aren't the best from an
environmental perspective.
BMX/mountain bike pads with velcro fixings seem ok but aren't a very good match
aesthetically. I'm using an old MTB pad at the moment.
I've seen some ready made leather top tube covers but they don't seem to fit
the 31mm diameter tubes on my Atlantis or Clem H. Similarly, Velo Orange had
some elk skin bar tape but again I don't think it would fit. A home made
leather TT cover might work I suppose.
I've seen some people put shellacked bar tape along all or most of their TT but
that operation looks like a massive PITA IMO and it's not easily removable once
it's been done.
What I'd really like is a canvas cover made of something like Carradice waxed
cotton duck (it would match my bags at least) but I've not found anyone who
makes something like that.
Any other ideas?
Cheers,Johnny
