I like the Fizik Microtex bar tape, and there is a honey brown color tape product by the manufacturer that has been available in Europe for some time. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any availability of this color through U.S. distributors/retailers. This seems like a strange situation

Somewhere on the Rivendell site there is a green bike with a bar wrapped in two colors -- one side green, one side pink. I think it looks fantastic. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-ow

I think the black will look just fine untill you wear it out. gives you a reason to ride more. Do you prefer the thickness and cush of the cork tape? I have found I prefer the Somafab thick and zesty to wrap my hands around and it matches with almost any shade of brown http://www.flickr.com/phot
