Any more pictures of that bike shown in the first post? That looks nice and I've never seen it.

I'm a Cinelli cork user and really like it, though I have my gal wrap my bars because she can do it better AND without any cursing...

As for the Fizik tape - I love the looks of it but for me, it just doesn't have the right amount of grip & cushion.

Kurt, you promised a picture of what happens when you try to mount a brake onto the boss with Fizik tape... I want to see it.

I read that Eddy Merckx started it. As someone said, no sticky finishing tape required... don't know if EM had any other reason.

This only applies to the Schmidt/Dobbins method.
