Anyone know of brown bar tape apart from Charge U Bend and Brooks which is cheap and available in the U.K?

Thanks.

Microtex is good, comes in two shades of brown too.

Another vote for Microtex - available in brown and it's about the best bar tape anyway - lasts ages, easy to clean, grippy enough even in the wet.

Got brown honey tape on the audax bike and it looks great. The Brooks tape might look a touch better - but it is mega-bucks - maybe Christmas present to the bike?

If you flick through my sig below you can see the brown microtex and how it matches up to honey and antique brooks saddles as I've been through a few.

I know you have said no to Charge U Bend but I am a big fan, it's easy to put on, very tough and well padded it ages well and is dirt cheap if you can find some. I had some on my bike for 4 years of year round riding an it still looked great. had to change it last week as go new bars.

Leaving the deep rims aside - that is a flipping lovely looking bike!

I have the charge stuff and although it's quite firm it's super tough, I've had some for a good year or two on my commuter bike and still not dead

My missus uses the charge and like the microtex it is very tough and cleanable. It is far more bulky than the fizik though which depending on your preference is good or bad. Plus it has Charge embossed all over it.
