Be wary of Lizard Skins by the way, they last as long as Pacenti's road rims.
That's interesting to know. I've had Lizard Skin tape on a few bar setups in the past and I've really enjoyed it, however I always swapped/sold bars/bikes before the tape had the chance to wear out.

Here is a cheap alternative that is pretty much same: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-professional-bar-tape/
Same padding as DSP, similar grippy-ness just different texture .. Its on my bike atm.

I did the very same, it get a tad annoying having black hand after a sweat day in the mountains, and the girlfriend worn her completely after a couple month of commuting in London.
The other that I find impressed me, is the Supacaz one, @Fox had bad experience of them, but they withstand some heavy touring in the Pyrenees yet still retain their stickiness, if only they made one in Fluro yellow.

Good call, hopefully the full hydraulic system will be cheaper in the next year or so.
