Interesting though, how bar tape has become a highly specialized accessory in its own right, and considerably more expensive. Overwhelming number of choices with some mighty claims, and some very serious marketing.

I agree, some stuff is just way too expensive. The new thing (supacaz, looking at you) is including some fancy barend plugs which I don't want but then you can charge $50. I think I paid $30 for the vento which is about what I am comfortable paying for bar tape. Only few times I paid more was the Supacaz and one time lizard skin. The Supacaz I liked, I thought the lizard skins was not great, it did not last long at all
