Hey, T-O-STAR Bobs: We started hoarding Tressostar years ago fearing it was going away. Now we've got a pyramid of the beautiful stuff all piled up nicely on the bench. We sleep like a baby knowing it's there, ha. Quite a few different colors but mostly black. Lots of black as it ages better, IOHO.
We must confess to stretching...really s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g...a thin couple-o-inches run of cheap 'cork' (what IS that?) across the tops to provide just a bit of kush behind the hoods mostly. You'd never know it was there but we've grown to like just that little bit of thickness. BTW, to engage in some unabashed name dropping, my old riding pal, Lon Haldeman (we from NorIL), the undisputed champion of long distance cycling, always layered cloth tape. His palmares includes countless, legendary, epic, jaw-dropping rides, one after another, for decades. And when were all younger, the only wrappings were essentially Benotto plastic and Tressostar. Our T-starred arms and hands have aged just wonderfully and thankfully and gracefully we keep on keepin' on! Sheathed in cloth always, from steamy Athens, GA.
