Can anyone recommend a brand of bar tape that is actually proper primary red? All the cork tapes in my LBS are classed as 'red' but are more of a pinky red. I want something that's primary red, ideally padded, though maybe not cork tape if it includes visible pieces of cork. None slippy would be a bonus (but none cork)
Any suggestions?
Stella Azzura eleganza and standard soft tapes come in very nice primary colors, reds are reds, and greens are greens, no pastels.
They are also very comfortable.
Note that orangey reds may be better as they drift to a more red color as they get dirty!!
As a minor gesture of homage to the cycling gods, I believe Cinelli cork bar tape, regardless of color. After all, it's what you touch when you ride the bike. And they do make a red.

I also pay homage to the cycling gods by using Cinelli tape, but the red stuff I bought turned pinkish when I stretched it around my bars. Fortunately, I'm secure in my manhood.
