also....cheap vinyl tape always has, and always will be my favourite kind too :)
Perforated leather, cloth, or sew up elk hide for me. But the crazy plastic colors brings back fond memories. I can still smell it when I think of it. I remember it being on the Schwinn Varsity in closely matched colors. Damn that was a heavy bike. I swear they built it out of bar stock.

Starting from the top is traditional and my preferred method.
But lots of newer tape don't have thin edges which lay flat and flush.
So when your hands slide down the bars the edges start to roll.
That's the way I learned to do it fortyfive years ago. Therein lies the problem. Forty five years ago we used cloth tape or in some cases the plastic sort.
Forty five years... I have never typed that before... I need a nap.












I would like to buy a couple of 1/8 inch campy cogs.
