Thinking I might purchase a set of those Titec H-Bars and was just wondering which grips and tape to use...

I have roadie bar tape on mine. Foam grips and roadie tape seem a popular option.

I don't bother with grips, just normal cork bar tape.

Don't the Jones bars have cork grips and cork tape?
Aren't the bars too thin for just bar tape with no grips?
Just wondering.

Whatever you use, the niche factor has to be over 5, think yourself lucky they're Titec not Jones or something, when only organically grown woven hemp dipped in a solution of dolphin tears and octopus spunk will do.

I use specialized gel cyclocross foam bartape stuff. Slightly thicker for improved 'grip'. No octopii needed for adhesion.

Ha! nice one anotherdeadhero.
It's to complete my Slotted Inbred 69er, it'll be very niche, I might even finish it off in whippet grey with tweed seat and bar tape, very Yorkshire!

Cheers futon river crossing will look em up.
