Looking for personal opinion on what cork tape I should get for my Club Fuji.

Any brands that aren't too expensive and have great comfort and grip.

    Maybe a Deda? They have quite a large selection of colours and "feel" tapes, iirc they have silver, light grey, alloy colour if you want it like the photo. Price is very reasonable (here). This is my second choice though.

    I personally use Easton as I like how they feel but colours are very limited.

    Gorgeous bike - do you use SPD pedals or still have the cage pedals shown on the pic?

    I know you're asking for Cork Tape, but on a classic style bike like that, I'd be sorely tempted to go for something a little more in-keeping with the look of the bike - perhaps the Fizik Performance microtex stuff - looks like a classic perforated leather wrap, and with a foam backing for comfort. Also, it's a bit easier to keep clean than the cork stuff if you're going for the lovely but totally impractical white :laugh:

    Otherwise, it's the Cinelli Cork tape complete with the little "Winged C" chrome bar-end plugs all the way - again for a whiff of retro-authenticity.

    I like Salsa bar tape. Lots of colors, no adhesive, and very comfortable!
