Yeah, I like it better, too. Finding a tape to compliment the Caramel paint is challenging! Steve P. referred me to this stuff--it's (ahem) HandleBra brand, and unfortunate name aside, it seems like great stuff so far: http://www.handlebra.com/ Mine is the dark brown, which matches the worn Honey Brooks about perfectly. It was so wet here saturday that I focused on chores to free up more time for sunday which was still sketchy but less wet. This week's gonna be sunny til the weekend when of course, more rain, colder temps, some snow too...B-( Steve

Really came out nicely. Which bar tape did you use? Looks like you had a real meander on your country bike. It is still breezy down here in AL too. Yesterday was drier than Saturday, no Shower's Pass jacket needed, but I did wear (happily) a Gore windproof over a wool blend jersey. The jersey, btw is a favorite, the 2008 Canari Massif, now on sale here: http://wheelworld.com/product/canari-08-massif-wool-jersey-6197.htm) We rode a flatter course than Saturday, but pulled harder into the wind. My legs are talking to me this morning. I think they're asking, "Where's that Advil?" _____ From: "Frederick, Steve" <frede...@mail.lib.msu.edu> Got out briefly on the Saluki sunday--been itching to try the the new stuff I installed over the winter: new Berthoud stainless steel fenders with new VO leather mudflap and U.S. made leather bartape. I headed down the Lansing River trail but even the finest fenders won't protect you from Spring time Red Cedar River levels! (that's the trail right behind me in this pic) http://www.flickr.com/photos/40738...@n08/4432754952/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
