I've been riding "good" bikes for about 35 years (since high school) so trust me, you ain't seen it all. Back than all bikes were wrapped from the bar center down; that was how it was done in Italy so of course that was how we did it here.
JBD's 30-year old Follis is a good example; have you even heard of Follis?
JBD, is it the candy-apple red? I always loved that color!
nope, mine is a speedy racing green
not as fast as a hot candy apple red, but still pretty speedy
