Speaking of specs, does anyone out there know a source for what was a staple at one time?
Plain (unpadded) white plastic bar tape.
Not the cheesy textured Hunt Wilde/Schwinn "approved" stuff but the nice quality found on Raleighs of the era. Raleigh and Peugeot team bikes (an d others I assume) also seem to have used a plastic bar tape at some periods , not cotton.
All of the better quality tape I've found is either padded or Benotto.
