Does anyone have any pictures of the white w/ red Fizik Dual bar tape? I'm thinking of trying it out this year, but don't want it to turn out looking like a candy cane. Any other impressions of the tape itself?
if you like the stitching, look at the stella azzurra eleganza tape. lots of colors, single and dual. i run all black w/white stitching and it's a very classic look. a little thicker/cushier too, but it doesn't wear as well as the fizik (at least the microtex stuff).

Funny you should ask. I just got some yesterday. It turned out a little "bolder" than I hoped for. Next time I may wrap it the other way so that the red stitching shows but not the red strip.
Also noted:
This stuff is a bit thicker than the soft touch tape, and has a bit of a "rubbery" feel to it than the soft touch. It is great for someone seeking a more comfortable, fatter tape that can be ridden with no gloves. It stays tactile when sweaty.

Could you please show a side view of the whole bike? I have bare Ti and red decals and the new Shimano road tubeless wheels with red in the decals. I am considering the same tape. Thanks in advance.

i wrapped a bar today w/ the white, but 'backwards' so the red stripe didn't show. looked great. the red stripe shows just a tiny bit when you wrap around the shifter bodies, but it looked really nice...but i didn't get any photos

I too have been thinking about getting some Fizik Dual (black/red) and trying to wrap it backwards so the red stripe didn't show. I'd love to see a photo if you could get one. I like the look of the Bike Ribbon/Stella Azzurra Eleganza tape but prefer the feel/durability of the Microtex.
I was thinking about the dual tape until I saw photos of it. Thanking my lucky stars for that. Got the plain old black version of the Fizik. Sorry all I can think of is candy canes and barber shops when I see it.
