100 bucks for the last roll of bar tape you will ever buy:

The Brooks Handlebar Tape is made of natural leather to make it a perfect compliment to your Brooks Saddle. It is natural, breathable, and durable.

The Bar Tape comes with: 2 strips of leather bar tape, 2 bar end plugs, and 2 adhesive top wrap strips

Colors: Black, Honey, Antique Brown

BTW Norco carries this stuff now so any lbs should be able to order it for you

$100? Seen the Brooks tape before, but didn't know it was that expensive…

I like my Specialized Bar Phat, gel pads + good cork bar tape.

Since their saddles are like 200-500 bucks it's pretty consistent. :lol:

I'd pay it since good cork tape costs 15-20 bucks a roll and only lasts a few months of hard riding if it's wrapped well. Imagine the gel pads under the leather that would be heaven. :lol:

I just like the thought of never having to buy tape again.

Looks good. Too bad I could pay for a whole riding vacation (two days) for a hundred bucks. The riding wins out.

Ok in ten years of riding raodbikes you will have probably spent more than 100 dollars on cork tape and I'll still have my original roll of brooks tape. :)
