I’d say too much, but not way too much.  
Honestly, I’d be into it if they’d just tone down the colors a bit.

There are sooo many options of handlebar tape. How can they sustain so many options of weird handlebar tape?? Who is buying all this weird handlebar tape?

If the stuff on that website is the same as the Serfas tape, it feels fine. Like outdoor furniture cushion fabric. Wears in pretty well, I’ve got a thousand or so miles on some of it, fabric outer feels softer, cushion layer isn’t significantly compacted, adhesive is holding strong.

This is what I was wondering. They have literally hundreds of designs. How the fuck is that sustainable to produce and stock?

they are based in thailand so I am guessing they just print an amount of each style whenever they want.  
it’s 155 skus which isn’t insane. The markup is crazy though since they are their own distro so they can probably swing whatever

a lot of those bartapes are yarn-dyed  
idk, bartape doesn’t take up that much space, seems plausible to me
