    My significant other bought me some really cool bar tape to put on my new Scott bike, and I think it's made by Profile Designs. It's black with a silvery embossed floral pattern on it. I've actually gotten a lot of compliments on it. It's got a feminine touch without being too "girly"

    Thanks for all the ideas ladies!

    I have lots of choices to consider now! Is it pretty easy to wrap yourself? or is it something I should have the bike shop do?

    Absolutely!

    How about wet look black from Fizik or chrome from Deda?

    There should be a better picture somewhere!
    Who would have thought? Here's another floral handlebar tape.

    @barrelgal: I am really curious to know who your "finalists" were and to see a picture of the faster bike.

    My finalists are pretty spread out but here is what I'm thinking in no order:
    Cinelli Caleido Ribbon - I like the dots showing through a different color idea and that they are all different colors adds a bit of fun, but is still subtle from a distance.

    Specalized s wrap roubaix type in pink - I'm not a total pink girl but I think this shade of dark pink would be ok with the navy on my bike since it's not too light.

    Something along the lines of the fi'zi:k Microtex tape in green. This would stand out, and I really really like the idea of it, but unsure of how I would like it actually day in day out.

    I can't find the caleido online yet, but I think it's a new product.

    Edit: Nevermind, I found it now!
