Doesn't hold dirt like cork does and is breathable for those hot sweaty days. Put it this way: Mine still looks new and Jon's cork got dirty the first day we wrapped it. But then again..you know Jon and his pink.


Side note: Funny how we both started out with John Deeres and ended up with road bikes.
Hey sis....haven't seen you in here (commuting)before.

Actually, I have some nice red Cinelli bar tape. I've been holding off adding it to bike now because of anticipation of new handlebars. I want to save it and use it on them.

Maybe some nice high-viz orange bar tape would be cool though.
