You are obviously "missing the boat", as it were. The only proper
handle bar tape for a gentleman to use is leather, such as Brooks
Leather Handlebar Tape.
True it is possible to buy cheaper (shoddy) tapes (as those used by
the commonality) but after all, one rides a bicycle to be one step
above the common herd. One wears the special shoes, the special pants,
the special jersey and even the special "hat" all of which emphasize
the fact that one is a "Bicycle Rider". Why would one not want the
special handlebar tape?
