In 1983 Antonio Colombo invented an entirely new feeling in the history of cycling bartape: Cinelli Original Cork Ribbon. Upon its release this grippy, spongy yet durable and ultralight mix of EVA and natural cork immediately rendered other bar tapes of the day (made from cotton or vinyl) technologically null.
Within the space of a few short years the tape became an industry standard, spontaneously adopted by professional and amateur rider across the globe and copied (sometimes badly) by every major cycling brand in the world.
