How about $110 CDN - just for the handle bar tape to wrap around your new handle bars. That was the price I was given for Brooks handle bar tape in Vancouver last September.
I actually managed to buy the same thing for £42 in Woking (Evans Cycles) on my way home from the airport, which just goes to show that the increase in price that occurs when something crosses the Atlantic isn't just one way.

PS - Yes it was worth it They were a complete nightmare to fit as the leather doesn't stretch easily but they are very grippy and look fantastic...
