I've always wrapped from the top down.
There is no need for any additional tape that way. At the end just pop on the bar end plug and you're done,

This looks like a Trek 1200 from 1992.

Before you buy, make sure it fits....

Forget the $225 mess. $100 for a Voyageur, or any touring bike, in good shape is a great deal. Make sure it fits and is in good shape. If it is, grab it fast.
