Time to wrap the bars. Of course, I chose red Newbaum's cloth tape. Whether I normally wrap top-down or bottom-up, using the Gaslo end caps necessitates wrapping bottom up as the cap's tangs fit around the outside of the bars and the tape holds them in place. To be sure they stayed in place, I taped two opposing tangs with Scotch tape, then let the bar tape stick to the other tangs. I also Scotch taped the brake lever straps to the bars to hold them in place, then removed the levers before wrapping the bars. Getting the lever's mounting bolt to thread into the strap after wrapping the bars was quite fiddly.






It's really starting to look like a Legnano now.
