DH and I were in the LBS today, and someone brought in a lovely Trek with the COOLEST bar tape. It was silver and carbon fiber-y. The maintenance guy told me it was Deda bar tape. I just know it would look really nice on my bike; however, I want to know if it's any good. Does anyone have any experience with this bar tape?

i have tried a lot of different brands of bar tape and DEDA is now the only type i use -- good wear, vibration damping, attractive, and under $20!

Yeah, I saw that and got excited. But then I thought, what if the sun reflects of of it into my eyes!!!
I just ordered the Deda bar tape in the carbon silver. Pretty hyped. Now I just need that Atmos helmet that matches the bike too. Hmmm...LBS is having a sale...

I have the silver on LAZB. I had it on Pipit, too. Very durable and it cleans up nicely. (Not a super great picture...)
