Looking for something classy and distinctive (or just downright tacky) for my town bike

Any recommendations?

Harlequin wrap?

From this "how to" guide:

If you want the trad look, Charge U-bend is the best, hardest-wearing stuff I've come across. Real leather bar tapes like Brooks end up stained and discoloured pretty quickly.

Harlequin for something distinctive.

Lizzard SKins DSP in a garish colour if you plan on doing some miles.

Liking the harlequin effect, is the cotton stuff easy to get hold of?

Not so keen on the splash...

Seems to be a gap in the market for interesting bar tape designs?

Really?

I'm guessing all the fixie****™ types would agree.. ( But most won't... )

Get a grip and stick with something plain! (Pun intended, IGMC).
