I'm glad I earned my wrapping chops back when bar tape was 99¢/roll.

OP's grade:

1. Tight and even spacing: A+
2. Bar end tidiness: A
3. Stem end tidiness: A
4. Under the brake lever coverage and neatness: B

If it were my bike, I'd put some red finishing tape on it - a little wider than the black stuff on there now.

I SHOULD do that! The red would look neat and I can still do it without really "undoing" any existing work!
