After much deliberation (as well as buying and installing 1970's era NOS Benotto celo tape and not liking it) I decided to go the route of Newbaum's black cloth tape with some twine that I got at a local craft store to finish off the top center on my 1974 Schwinn Paramount restoration. Can't say enough good things about the tape. If you want to take your Newbaum's tape one step further (affordable, classy option) put a few coats of shellac on the finished product. All things considered, Newbaum's is quality cloth tape that has a timeless look.

Newbaum's cloth handlebar tape is a great quality product. I've used it for years and I have it on all of my classic steel bikes. It looks exactly as it should for a vintage build. Plenty of tape on the roll to wrap one side of the bar. Two rolls needed to do both sides. Good selection of colors and a really good value.

Newbaum’s is a great choice to wrap any kind of handlebars. Looks great, stays put! Easy to work with. Comes in great colors that don’t fade. Use it to wrap seatpost, bicycle tubes to hide logos. Think outside the box. Highly recommend.

Tough, durable, and doesn’t get squishy from hand sweat like cork tape. Plus it’s cheaper!
