"Does anyone know of a source for Bike Ribbon bar tape? More specifically, I am looking for the classic "golden yellow" color."

The colors on the web site are not accurate (I just bought some blue and it's a deeper blue than the one pictured, unfortunately), so I'm not sure the yellow you will get is the one you want. I'm familiar with the deeper "golden yellow". It's one of my favorites too, and I have it on a couple bikes. At $5.49, it might just be worth taking the chance.
