Considering Benotto tape for a circa 86-88 bike, but I think that is a little late for Benotto tape. I think the tape itself would look good, but I do have to take period correctness into account with this bike.

Please shed a light on untill when Benotto tape lasted.
 
I was using it in the 70's and '80's - and still am!

I've got quite a collection, every time I see a roll of a different colour at a jumble I buy it!
 
your bike would still be period correct, but bike ribbon was the in-thing at that time. Most racers had given up on benotto around 85.
 
Looking at photos in 1989 Cyclings and quite a few riders are still using it including pros.
 
I am considering Benotto tape for a early 80's bike as well, but what is a good place to buy it?
 
I think I could very well be going for the Benotto tape now. It would looks simply ace me think. Thank you.
