I cannot seem to find this anywhere except a few "shady" online sites.

I believe Cinelli tape at SuperGo.. You might give them a call. I see someone mentioned Colorado Cyclist....try them too, they are great to deal with.

I bought mine at supergo a while ago, past few times in the store they did not carry it anymore. Instead they carried another brand of tape (forget name off-hand) that had the gel cork tape.

R600, In my humble opinion its the best tape out there! Cinelli uses the standard cork tape with a gel strip on the center of the back of the tape that makes for a cushy feel.

In itself, the tape is pretty good. However, I got the stars & stripes pattern and the colors started to rub off after about 4 rides and eventually faded to all white in about a month (I never got it wet, did not crash, etc.). I'm not touching that again, but I assume solid colors are okay...

Dj, I get it from my LBS, they carry Cinelli, and they have the gel tape also..

If you'd like I can give you their phone number if you want to call and order from them, I would think they could mail you it if they have what you want..

Most any LBS should be able to get that easily.
