Cinelli Jelly tape.
I saw this in a local shop yesterday.
Wow is it ugly with that black bar (looks like it's wrapped in a bunch of condoms), but I bet this stuff would look pretty cool on anodized Nitto bars and such. Looks very grippy too,

If you put that on a set of bullhorns it would look like it's ready for a porno. Seriously, I think that is some ugly stuff.

That photo is shopped. What is that phony gray stripe across the top of the bar and down the side? (part of the bar graphic but doesn't appear to make sense?) I'd need to see and feel it in person before I'd buy. Or get a review and photo from one of you guinea pigs.

Seems like it would work great, but the thought about it getting grimey after a while.. well that would be preeeeetty gross.

Yea, Yea Glory Hole. my mates throw that at me all the time.
On a much more serious note: i have been using the jelly tape on one of my bikes about 3 months now and it's fantastic, has some cushion and is great when wet. I use gloves with it and it seems to stick to the gloves. It's worth a try.

I wonder if this is made from silicone. It looks like ass on that black bar. Maybe on a chrome or ti bar it would look good though.
