Two Tone bar tape?
Hi, is there anyone out there that knows how to produce a two tone effect with bar tape. Here is an example. Thanks.

Buy two rolls of tape and use half up to the levers and the second colour afterwards - finish one half by taping it to the hood and likewise, start the second.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

Isn't that the Fizik tape?
Like this:
In fact ... it's probably not. Doesn't look like a Fizik saddle and I've never seen it in that colour before. I vote for two rolls of tape too.0 -
It's funny you should post that Whiteline, as i'm thinking of going with a two tone bar on my CAAD9. With green on the tops and white on the drops.
I'm probly gonna have to use two tapes tho, as i cant find a good dual coloured one.0 -

Now i've done it i'm not too sure on the colour. I'll give it a week. But might just go all white.

What tape is that you've used on the tops Sgt.?
I noticed Fizik do a Liquigas green and I was tempted but I hope that isn't it. That looks like the fluro reflective stuff ideal for winter riding.0 -
Deda Tape tops and drops, the top is Green Apple. It's probly a shade or two lighter than the Cannondale green.
T'was only cheap so thought i'd give it a go. But if Fizik do a Liquigas green i may buy some of that, and do it properly.
FSA Also do a similar green tape too, but its hard to judge colours on the net.0 -
The green from Fizik.
Like you say, hard to tell on on the web though.0 -
I think somebody had the green Fizik tape on a Trek 1.5 on here a while ago. The name of the owner escapes me at the moment though. Sure the guy has a Boardman as well if that helps. Anyway, point is that the green Fizik tape is much more Liquigas green than what I've seen from Deda, Lizard Skins or Bontrager.0

Just ordred the Fizik Microtex from Wiggle, will report back when it arrives. may need to get some gel pads as it looks a little thin.0

Wrapped my bars again today with the Fizik tape, it's still not identical to the Cannondale green but it's a much better colour than the Deda stuff, much nicer to hold too.

Nice job on the taping and nice colour choice as well
Stem Cap would drive me crazy not pointing in the right direction but more importantly where do you get a missus that lets you work on the bike in the living room ?A punctured bicycle

lol yeh, the Dreamcast. I've probly only played on it two or three times in the last ten years but i just cant bring myself to get rid of it, i've still got my original Megadrive too.
Lazarus my missus doesn't let me bring my bike into the living room, but she does go to work tho
Also i put the stem cap like that on purpose 'cos it's cool yo.0 -
Looks nice, might get some when I get a new bike.0

Single colour bar tape looks much, much better IMO. That just looks odd.More problems but still living....0
