Wow that's a find !

Insofar as old style retro Cinelli Giro D Italia road bars are concerned a guy gave me a 40cm one just made for leather (which I've never used) and it has little creases under the dropouts that are supposed to be just for leather wrap. I don't know whether that's actually necessary for using leather wrap or not. ?

I've always liked the padded Bike Ribbon when I don't use cotton wrap. Kind of old school though.

I've stocked a lot of similar tape from Performance but don't see it around anymore. Never tried the cork stuff yet.
