Whoops, I found out that "The Tape" and "The Seat" had nothing to do with each other. Our ethereal wizard Raoul Delmare wrote the definitive article on that subject :

The Tape and the "No. 1 Pump" both came from Dahltron corp. I do remember, as Raoul describes, that there was a problem with "The Tape" ~ because it was very thin porous foam, you could easily tear it if you wrapped a bar too tightly. It wasn't nearly as strong as plastic or cloth handlebar tape. One hard yank and you could make one "The Tape" into a pair of "The Tapes", each half as long !!
