Managed to get the old tape off. No exotic solvents required in the end - I picked the bars up this afternoon and the tape all came off with a little picking at the stubborn bits. I reckon my error was only giving the degreaser about an hour to get to work, but after about 24 hours with it on, the glue must have been weakened enough. The bars have come up lovely after a bit of buffing with wire wool, too :)
