I think that's silver Benotto tape, not bare metal.

Exactly what Regal just said. This stuff was all the rage: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Vintage-Benotto-Dark-Gray-Road-Bike-Handlebar-Tape-with-Plugs-/121352504888http://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=2&pub=5574889051&toolid=10001&campid=5336525415&item=121352504888&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]

Ah ha - brilliant - I was confused because I could see some of the brake mounts but of course; race mechanics don't put the extra tabs in to cover up the backs.
Shame LBS don't sell anything like this, will have to get some from fleabay

So much cooler in every way racing without a massive pile of plastic on your bonse
Having an idle weekend watching old Tour footage. Started to see a lot of examples of riders mid stage without bartape in videos around late 80s like here:

Just wondering what the explanation is behind this?
