Just acquired some lime green cloth bar tape which I hope to weave into a diamond pattern (along with blue tape) on the new green Hillborne's mustache bars. Ordered a set of 700x35 creme colored tires since I tried my Schwalbe Supremes (38mm actual) and they wouldn't fit under fenders with enough clearance to suit me. I'm hoping to ride this in an up and coming 'family style' ride put on by the county park department in my area. I'm also enjoying my new MUSA shorts and blue suspenders (nothing like plumbers crack to spoil a fellow riders view) The fit is nice and I plan to buy another pair along with some long pants now that I know they fit. Not sure if the Creme tires are long lasting (UV / rubber wise) but I've seen a few bicycles fitted with them and they look kind of vintage. Its a groovin bicycle and I'm glad I purchased it. If any of you are on the fence regarding the purchase of a Hillborne it is a fine riding bicycle. Not a tank and not a flyweight just a solid ride that handles predictably. When price is a consideration, I don't think you could purchase a nicer riding Rivendell.
