Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

SuperSix's Two-Tone Bar Tape

How does one achieve this look? Is it a special tape or is it a way of wrapping two different colors of bar tape?

nothing special about it - it's just wrapping one color half way, then another color

Nah, Man. They make two-tone bar tape. They have been doing it at least since the early '80's and probably earlier than that.

Here is an example of vintage two-tone bar tape. You can still get it - made today in modern color and patterns.

I'm not fond of the look and quickly replaced it, but my roubaix came with black/red tape that was stapled together and hidden under the hoods.
