thats not me, you cant prove it. So there isnt really any interesting bartape with pictures or lively patterns on.

do you mean something like this?

just search ebay with "bar tape" and go through the pages

no not really. Its for my missus. Shes looked about and can find varying colours and camo but nothing girlie. Ive had a look and although theres thousands out there they all seem to be variation on a theme.

She wants Kath Kidston bar tape

meh

Finally, thats exactly the type of thing she's after. Many thanks! It's worth being a 'cunt' sometimes

Hehe!

My last wrap of Fizik Soft Touch Microtex wore fuzzy in a surprisingly short amount of time, so I decided to go for the normal black Mictrotex tape (leather-looking stuff) this time round.
It's fucking horrible.
The back of the old Soft Touch tape was black (or rather, the tape was likely dyed right through). Very stealth, nice thin edges, real 'don't look at me' bar tape.
The new stuff has the whitest, Daz-advert backing known to man, and appears to be twice as thick as ST at the edges, which are also as bright as Dale Winton's teeth. Every perforation glows like dandruff on a black suit jacket. Quite pissed off. Might have to ride the bike with filthy bare hands for a bit.

lizard skins.

Too rubbery for hot weather, and at $40 a wrap they can fuck right off.

One other gripe about Fizik tape; Rolls are a wee bit too short. Could really use another 6" or so. Stingy bastards.

Various places online over the years have said it's gash. Here is one I was reading.

Anyway, new tape is needed and I'm wondering if in any way shape or form splash patterns have been acceptable. Would also be easy to spot if my bike was nicked.

Its your bike, if you want to put splash tape on it then do it, who cares if nobody else likes it. As for quality, its perfectly decent cork tape.

just do it

After viewing the site you posted I'm gobstopped....

Ordered some cheep cloth tape.

I have always found that sort of bar tape a visual delight.

Cheep cloth tape - surely the worst of both worlds? I really would not look to mr dobbins for advice, 90% of the bikes owned by this forum would give him a heart attack.

....As the merest glance at splash tape drives him close to apoplexy, a coronary is possible. I don't much like splash (used it in the 90s like everyone else), but would install it on all my bikes just to annoy him.
