Thanks to gridds I now know he's using the cinelli natural cork gel tape on his build, hard to find pics of the natural cork stuff on a real bike so really helped seeing those pics cheers buddy.
Ordering natural standard and gel tapes plus the jelly from crc all on sale at the mo so have the choice if the gel is too thick, using aux brakes right now so no hoods to worry about, should be sweet.
No idea how it would feel but if the cork is wrapped tight enough maybe ok, anyway will have a go and post pics after attempt.
Gonna be fun cos I'm going reverse wind to avoid needing finishing tape, done many times but this will be tricky.
