im super crazy OCD with my barwrap. and i actually really enjoy doing it for some reason....here is my first fixed gear build that is sort of my canvas for trying out new things to see how i like them...
lol the bars have 3 types of tapes on them. WHY??? something involving creativity and mental instability with a dash of boredom



actually this came about because i really wanted brooks leather tape, but didn't want to shell out 80 dollars for it. luckily my roommate did lol, and even more lucky was the fact he only needed one of the two provided rolls to wrap his bars. For a dinner and a few extra turns at washing the dishes he gave me the other roll.....which i cut in half, one half for each side. wrapping the bullhorns, the brooks wrap got to where you can see it. i then picked up some wierd 80's white vinyl wrap from some long defunct japanese manufacturer for the bullhorn ends. the actual bullhorns are white, which i liked the look of, but wanted some grip. i then used some black cloth tape and created what i guess you could call nubs....wrapped around a few times to be slightly thicker than the rest, i like it like that for my hands. i then used shellac on the black cloth tape to darken the color and cement the tape in place a bit.

LOL i love me some bar wrap ^_^
