Which bar tape

[hamster]

I tap them in with a soft-faced mallet.

As for tape, the most re-usable I've found is Profile, which also seems durable and comfortable.

Robbied; much as though I respect you as a far more experienced retro roadie than myself, and much as though I have admired every build of yours that I have seen, I don't like that method of making a figure of eight.

It is easy to make a neat figure of eight, but it's a bit like tying your shoe laces, until you've done it enough times to make it second nature, it continues to be a puzzle every time.

When I have wrapped the bars to my satisfaction, I will photo them.

Well as they say, if it was easy, every man and his dog would be doing it
