Hi Joel!
This tape is the tape that uses the tennis players on their old rackets, it´s a plastic tape, no much comfort but you feel straight the handlebar.
Many people used it on their fishing rods too.
I don´t know the weight but it´s less than the normal tapes.
Euskaltel-Euskadi uses in white color this tape and other riders too (only available on white and black).

Thanks jam,
I always use Ambrosio/Bike Ribbon plastic tape, but they don't produce it anymore. Then I saw that tape and it was quite thin, so it will be +/- the same. I don't like the soft and thick cork ribbons. Where did you buy it?

What's the difference between what your talking about and plain old electrical tape??
The plastic tape that I use and that's about the same as Jam's - I think - is about 1-2mm thick. It's a little bit thinner than cork, but it is not soft. It's like the new carbon tape, but a little bit harder and it is only 2cm width (carbon 3cm) so you can mount it thinner
Here in Spain there´s a trademark (Kuips, who mades the Costa de Almería-Paternina Professional Team GSII frames), it also makes forks, handlebars, seatposts, ...
It has a fork in full carbon that weights 295gr (official weight) and it´s quite cheap, 210€ (I think less than 200$).
the homepage is www.kuips.com I think you can mail them and ask.
i also have a carbon handlebar from the same trademark.
