Going from gummy grips on the ends of drops, to Brooks leather is a hell of an upgrade my friend.

Had some on an old Paramount of mine.... Only thing I don't like about leather tape is that you have to start at the base of the bar, because you cant tuck the edges under the endplug cause its too damn thick. Great tape though. If you are not pro at wrapping, pay your LBS $10 to do it, so your $80 bar tape doesn't look like sh*t...
