So today I replaced the worn and dirty handlebar tape on my vintage Schwinn Paramount P14 that I've been restoring with traditional cotton cloth tape, and had almost forgotten how difficult it is to get non-stretchy tape on without wrinkles. I've gotten really spoiled using modern stretchy synthetic tapes, and had to redo it several times before it came out right. To make matters worse, the second roll of tape was too short and would not reach the end of the bar w/o redoing it with almost no overlap. Aaaaarrg!
When I removed the tape on the left side, it revealed multiple boo boos on the bar from many bad encounters with the track.
