Stella Azzura Spugna bar tape

[bobg]

Anybody tried it? The name stuck in my mind ( why wouldn't it ) from a mag a couple of years ago and it was the top rated and favourite of all the testers. I just came across it http://www.gbcycles.co.uk/eshop.asp?wci=product&wce=BTSATSP01&desc=SA+TECNO+SPUNGA+PAVE+BAR+TAPE
while I was having a look for some new stuff.....

>Used by pro teams in both the United States and France, Tecno Spugna comes in Extra Soft for cobbled roads, Soft for 'cross courses, Medium for asphalt roads, Firm for 'trials loops and Extra Firm for velodromes.

Wonder what my 5 quid variant is...

For £5 you probably only get extra soft...... Think I'll pay a bit more and get firm What is with "Spugna" its like a rash

Cant undertand why anyone would want to pay big time for something you can get cheap = does make you go any faster...
