I have a little question....

may sound really minor but I think that you bike people will understand.

I want to put fizik SILVER handlebar tape on my new handlebars (Salsa Poco). I ordered some and it is sort of a matte textured finish. I thought I'd seen some that was a sort of shiny glossy finish.....maybe on Mr. SR500's madone? I searched for a pic of it and couldn't find it.

Anybody know?

Silver,

I've got more info then you want to know.

I couldn't find any decent pics of my bike with the silver tape, but Kim's new Madone has silver, and here is mine when I was considering changing. Bad wrap is just loose over the black.

You must have bought the "soft touch" tape, I don't like it as well. The "shiny" is just the regular silver. I buy mine here:

I'm running blue tape now, but bought a couple silvers to have on hand (I'll either change before RAIN, or more likely right after (don't really like to play with the bike much before RAIN).

If you don't want to order, I could send you one of my extra's, let me know.

Hi Silver,

I had some on my Dolce, and it was a shiny, with little holes all over it. It looked really cool.

We have shiny silver on our tandem - I still have new box (since we haven't wrapped the stoker bars yet). It's Fizik Microtex Silver - I can send you the item # off the box if you need it:)
