Bar tape, how much?

[jimboalee]

Most e-tailers would disagree jim. It's always found under "handlebar tape" whenever I look!

'Tape' only has four letters. 'Ribbon' has six.

The website writers charge per letter, don't you know.

You are painfully out of date Jimbo. Its now bar tape

 

[jimboalee]

I'm so out of date, I still wear a cotton cap with 'Munich 72' on it that Hugh Porter gave me at a track event.

It must have been very surplus to stock in 1975, but it was a nice gesture for the junior riders.

So you young kids wrap 'Tape' around your bars?

Now I know what to do with those old VHS cassettes.

It gets a bit slippy though jim, but great in the rain as it just slides off!

NO !
You DON'T wrap it round the bars.

You cut it into 400 18" lengths and hold them all in the bar ends with the end-plugs, in a Pom-pom fashion.

Or if you have the guile, wrap the film as to show a short movie to keep you entertained on longer rides!

Wrap the old video tape around the frame to enclose the triangle, STREAMLINING.

It's about THIS DUSKY

I can post it to you if it's any good

It looks like I won't have the Galaxy ready by Sunday now, so if you can bring it, I'd be happy to take it off your hands. I'm sure it'll clash with the frame, but if you don't mind, it'll only be temporary while I find out if the bars work for me.... Cheers!
