 David,


I'm surprised how hard it is to find Viva now, i agree that it's the 
softest of the bunch, in fact i bought an extra pack and it'll sit in my 
parts box for 2-3 years because i was worried i wouldn't be able to find 
them again!  Looks like i was right!

Thanks for the heads up on Greengrips... their dark green might be just the 
ticket on my Saluki.  Oddly enough I'm in the market for an 'olive green' 
as well.  Anyone have any thoughts on the 'heavy duty' vs 'eco friendly' 
options w/ the greengrips tapes?

Tony

I'd call Jitensha before concluding it's really gone.  Their website can be 
quite out of sync with what is really in the store.

 Rivendell used to sell it until Newbaum's became they're go to cloth tape.
 Or can anyone point me to where I can order some still? Jitensha carries 
 it, but looks like they're out of this color.
 Specifically looking for this type as it's a very nice match to my Redwood 
 when clear shellacked.

 I bought a couple rolls of Newbaum's lime green but it is a slightly 
 different shade. If anyone wants these, how's about $8 shipped?

 If I can't find the Viva tape, think I'll do gray Newbaum's to go for a 
 similar look to this: http://www.jitensha.com/eng/brooks_toei.html

 You can try Green Grips . They make nice cotton bar tape. They may have 
 something close.

2014-03-25 Thread David Banzer
I do know about, but had completely forgotten about, Greengrips. Weirdly, even 
though it's cloth tape, I've found it very easy to wrap, but too wide and thin 
for my likes. Purely personal. 

Realized handlebar tape is cheap and easily changed. Gonna go with grey 
Newbaums as I have a roll already and my LBS carries it. 

That being said, if a fellow lister comes across the Viva olive green tape, let 
me know. 
The Viva tape has been both the nicest feeling and easiest to wrap tape I've 
come across.
