could work if done properly, but ani most of the time.

Don't let JWestland set that last one! :)

The red and white's OK.

That on a black frame could be nice.

Should be fadez

The proper expander plugs are good.

Shame about the fat strip of black insulating tape. I always use a half-width of cloth tape, so much nicer.

That's a good tip! Going to steal that.

It's a fucker to cut neatly. I've come up with: unpeel a length, stick it to clean wax paper, cut with scissors/scalpel, then unpeel to stick on.

how do you keep it from fraying?

Trim off any fluff, the glue seems to hold it together.

On that note: Has anybody ever seen/done 3 colour non-harlequin bar wraps? Like the above link, using 3 rolls of tape?

My Gazelle has 3 stripes, but I can't find blue/red/green wrap. I can get 3 rolls and cut it up, but that may be Fugly* or maybe it's going to be anti no matter what, and I should save my £££

Freshly wrapped Cinelli Caleido tape, only drawback is the sheer whiteness makes my old white saddle look very grubby indeed

Found some NOS Ciclolinea Graphic bar tape on the bay and it finally arrived today...

^ Really nice.

Got this tape on my bars (bought as I combo of stem, bars and tape). Apparently it's some rare Italian (?) tape which is hard to find.

It's true, that it's one of the best tapes I tried. Spongy, grippy and really good looking.
The feel of it is awesome (perv).

Anybody know what tape is it?

Thank you.

Edit: Material is really rubbery...

not the best finish, but love how the dots line up

Finishing tape pulling away. 3/10 would not bang ;)

Cinelli logos not lined up, poor show

Will redo. #thisthread

To me it looks like the BikeRibbon Grip evo stuff we sell in the shop:

looks good at first and the feel is nice, but It wears out really fast, imo a cheap knock off from Lizard Skins

It's bad form to post your own bike around here, isn't it?

Oh well - here's my McBain Record with harlequin bar wrap. User Verbs & Nouns posted a close up a few pages back, but I finally decided to sign up.

Took ages, do love it. Since then it has been shellac'd and now has a nice weathered patina to match the frame. :D

More photos! Looks good. Fine to post your own bike in here, its just the bike porn thread that's all sorts of shitty about it.

Did I post this? I think it worked pretty good
