Does anyone know where I could find neon green electrical/vynil tape to finish the ends of my bar tape? The only thing I seem to be coming up with is the standard royal/forest green that is typically used for coding a ground wire in standard electrical wiring.

I did. They make some and said it would be $32 per roll. When I called back to order, they said $64 and I can have it in three months.

Thanks for that awesome resource!! I'll be saving that one. Unfortunately, it looks like a bust on that site as well for what I'm looking for.

$32 per roll?!? Holy mark-up Batman!
personally, I'd just use a different color, but hey, it's your bike and money.

Yeah, but it's got a 30 day moneyback guarantee.

If you get stuck maybe go and see your graphics man ?

I have had fluo green cut for my bike and I am sure they would have only wanted a few £'s / $'s more to cut some strips to a suitable width :-)

Any reason you are going out of your way to make the bike look uglier?

A few years from now we'll sit around at Lava Java and reminisce about that time all the bikes and shoes were stupid ugly neon colors and laugh at ourselves.

Hell, I laughed at the flouro and neon back in the 80's when it came around the first time. Now I'm just pissing myself waiting for everyone to realize how they paid so much money for fugly colouring!
