I agree this is really helpful.
Brian, how many rolls did you need? I'd guess you needed two rolls of
Maroon. Did you get away with only one roll of yellow?

I did, and it works great. Pic here (please excuse the poor harlequin effort -
I was making it up as I went along. Anyway, the question was about shellac!).

One roll of yellow, and two rolls of maroon, although I had leftovers. I
always put 3 coats of shellac on these afterwards, BTW...

Sorry I'm a bit late to this thread. I did the writeup that was on the Riv
site for a while. Others have really improved on my instructions.
One thing I discovered in the last couple of years. It's a lot easier, and

That means you'll have to unroll the tape and start a few feet in from the end.
Cut the tape under the brake lever hood, and resume under

I'm going to bail on my downtube shifter experiment, and the shellac over
cork hasn't held up, so I'm ready for a change and I've been wanting to try
a harlequin wrap since I saw Brian's beautiful bike two years ago. I've got
cloth tape,
Looks great. That's a neat trick for starting on the flats, to get both
colors sticking to each other. I have always started from the bar-ends, and
finished near the stem with black tape or twine.

Great video and excellent soundtrack! I really liked how you slowly started
out the process, incorporated written directions, and then included a
time-lapse section. It's nice to see the process as 5-6 diamonds are
created.
I'm wondering if you ran into any issues while reaching the bends of
I use more muscle and inside overlap when going around curves. I gave up
doing the diamond pattern on the curves as it never looked quite right -
