The bar tape is made by a company called F.U.B.A.R - you can get it on ebay or they also sell direct online. The tape is durable and stays cleans, and has decent grip believe it or not. It is a pain to wrap with though. Not as stretchy and flexible as a good cork tape.
I know you guys don't think much of this bike, but I was playing around with some new light equipment (I'm have a side business as a professional photographer). I tested the setup using the bike as a 'model'. The other pics were cell phone, so maybe the photography will make it a tiny bit hotter.

Forgot to remove my frame pump when taking this... 16.5 lbs with pedals and those heavy ultegra/open pros and $2 tubes. I'm thinking about a white/black arione cx..
