Gewilli – Here, here. Although I have also seem some pretty crappy tape application from the start. Your thought echos true for all aspects of the machine.

It isn’t how the handlebar tape looks when you first put it on that counts…

it is after a couple thousand miles when the true master craft is separated from the pretty poseurs…

I’v e done a few bars with string and shellac. It looks a lot better than electrical tape. If you are doing cork and then mix plastic it just does not mix well. I;ve also seen some sleeves that you put on but they look frankenstein on the bike.

Interesting solution. I highly respect shops that concentrate on innocuous details such as that. Though, I’ve never had much of a problem with cable contamination on my brakes (I keep the bikes clean…novel, I know).

The handlebar tape thing sounds very interesting. Any photos of how they do it would be welcome.
