Looking for a really really black bar tape!

LardLover

After my off and ripping my bar tape I'm now in the market for some new stuff.

Had been using Fizik Dual stuff which is really nice (IMHO), but now I think I'd like something that is proper black, a bit of a shine, and no flecks in it. I've seen a couple of pics of bikes with proper balck bartape but I can't find any.

Anyone suggest any? anyone know if Fizik do nice black one?

Cheers

And in this thread you can see it 'in the flesh' so to speak, half way down the page:

So what your saying is that it has to be None More Black?

Deda black carbon now ordered (sorry for the late response :oops: )

I only hope I manage to fit it so it looks as good as this: (Mmmm shiny-shiny)

I had some of that black carbon tape, doesn't look right and feels funny, so I gave it to my nephew and it gives him blisters on his hands :shock:

Ah well, I'll give it a go I suppose (I'll have to, I've just bought it on Ebay).

What is the name of the tape tht when wrapped round the bars you can see little white dots on each turn looks very nice?

This stuff Speed_King?



It's Fizik Dual tape. Very comfy (only hope I find the Deda stuff comfy otherwise I'm going back to this).

aarw

Think you're thinking about Eleganza, Stella Azzura is the original but a few other do it now also.

I find it hard to beat for comfort and performance.
