A tropical data point: cloth tape with two or three coats of shellac only took a year to develop mold spots in northern Thailand. Just an aesthetic concern, but worth a note. I then swapped bars a couple of times (noodles to moustaches to VO porteurs) and haven't bothered retaping at all. Am quite happy with the feel of bare aluminum, with or without gloves. But then again it doesn't ever get cold here.
