Ugliest bar tape I have ever seen
I walked into the LBS this morning and sitting there on a display stand was a Cervelo with CHROME Sella Azzura bar tape.

Man, that was ugly.

I agree. The Deda version is just as hideous.

I sent a bike out a couple of days ago with the Deda Olympic Gold tape. It looked great on that bike, maybe not so good on many others.

Chrome huh? That might look good on something I have.

I should pick up some of that for my old Gran Crit. It doesn't have enough bling.

Hmm... I can't figure out were parts makers are coming from.

Silver stems, bars, cranks ands seat posts = bad.

Silver bar tape and saddles = good.

Hello, my name is Bob Deda
And I wish you would keep your opinions to yourselves. What do you know about color coordinating bar tape? Are you a trained and certified designer? Sometimes my customers has special color needs or is simply color blind. You do not realize how much you people poo pooing a product such as my beuatiful chrome bar tape can ruin my online reputation and effect my business selling bling bar tape.
