The other advantage was that it also made your bars a little thicker and easier on your hands. Cork tape was not very popular and was "very" expensive. The vinyl stuff ran about $2 for a roll and the cork was about the same price as it is today.
Hope that helps.

Can you still find it? If so, where?
