Couldn't you use a red and a yellow tape and overlap the two colors while you put it on? I haven't actually tried this, but I use this technique when taping hula-hoops

I tried, it wasn't going well getting the handlebar thickness even.

Alright, I waited to change the handlebar tape till when I had to change the brake cables to change the brakes. I still haven't put on the rear rack, since I haven't needed it yet.

I would love to hear a driver claim that they couldn't see me on this bike (except, I don't actually want to get hit to hear thAT)

Very, very nice and eye-catching!

I probably shoulda had the frame powder coated before doing all that. But I like the red to dark red fade, even if it's chipped. And somehow this was supposed to be a budget build.

Love it, Cataboo! I am a color person so I really enjoy the eye-popping brightness of your ride.

Way cool bar tape, too.

That is one nice looking bike.
