Thanks! Yes I suspect you’re right about the bike ribbon but it’s so cheap I thought I’d try it out. I love the finish it has and couldn’t find anything similar. Is there literally no padding?

My preferred tape combo is Bike Ribbon with a couple of layers of hockey tape underneath. It's less padded than say cork tape but definitely with a little bit of cush, and more importantly a cleanable, old-school finish. Incidentally I had some classic looking perforated Fizik stuff on there previously but I think Bike Ribbon has a better taper on the edge for a smoother, more comfy finish.

Thanks Phil - yeah I was thinking of padding them out - do you mean hockey stick tape? Any brand recommendations if so? I've never liked the perforated finish which is why I avoided that style - even though it would suit the build.

I've only ever used grips (Soyo etc...) on my previous bikes so bar tape was a whole new rabbit hole for me. Went with Specialized Roubiax as it was plain and had a nice enough finish but it's definitely too thick for me. I subsequently stumbled upon bar ribbon and it definitely has the nicest finish and is much more era accurate.
