Brian, how many rolls did you need? I'd guess you needed two rolls of
Maroon. Did you get away with only one roll of yellow?

Does anyone use shellac on bars done with this type of wrap?

It's been awhile since I did this, but I have some pointers for dealing with
bends. Start in the middle of the bend and wrap in both directions from there.
That means you'll have to unroll the tape and start a few feet in from the end.
Cut the tape under the brake lever hood, and resume under th

Excellent! Guess I better get the garage cleaned up! :)
I'm going to bail on my downtube shifter experiment, and the shellac over
cork hasn't held up, so I'm ready for a change and I've been wanting to try
a harlequin wrap since I saw Brian's beautiful bike two years ago. I've got
cloth tape,
Great idea - I wouldn't miss that.

A few times with motorcycle stuff (back when I rode) we'd have get-togethers to
do some specific thing that someone knew how to do, like adjust the valves on
an airhead BMW, or install an accessory power socket. Everyone would bring
their bikes and work on them together. We should do that with h
Looks great. That's a neat trick for starting on the flats, to get both
colors sticking to each other. I have always started from the bar-ends, and
finished near the stem with black tape or twine.

Great video and excellent soundtrack! I really liked how you slowly started
out the process, incorporated written directions, and then included a
time-lapse section. It's nice to see the process as 5-6 diamonds are
created.
I'm wondering if you ran into any issues while reaching the bends of th
