It is indeed yellow tape and amber shellac (I used Bullseye). I have

Regardless, if it doesn't match perfectly, it complements perfectly.
And yes, looking at the yellow tape you simply cannot imagine it will
ever match. But it does.
Those Ergons are nice. I am using the Portuguese cork grips from
Riv. The cork absorbs shellac more than other cork grips. I used a
very small amount of Amber shellac and got a real nice color. Of

Zoics are really nice as they have 1-2% spandex/lycra in them. I like that
a lot in active wear. BTW, their 2010 line is pretty ugly. At least the
shorts are. Zippers and designs all over them. Older stuff was simpler and

Hi,
If you buy an Atlantis frame for $2k and a Rivendell membership, do
you get a $100 merchandise credit at the end of the year?

cutting dangerously on the inside:

That should have been off list of course. I am sorry. Should not be

I've got the VO front rack, the Acorn bag, and bar end shifters on my
Bleriot. No problems at all.

Joe... I'll be in the Beast Bay. Martinez. We're driving up
tomorrow. I might stop by Riv HQ in the afternoon. Send me an email
if you're poking around.
I wonder if there's a good market up there and if its worth bringing
the QB up to get a "local" sale. Are there tall people up there?

I don't think so. I think you only get the rebate on stuff that is
purchased while you're an active member. And yes, frames purchases do
get figured into your year-end rebate.

Esteban,
C'mon, we Norcals are all 6'+ in stature, you know that. Either way,
bring yer QB (or no), but- bring along something with two wheels,
regardless!
When do you think you'll be here (2040 N. Main)? Impromptu
Riv-ride(+friends, lurkers, hangers-on), anyone?

You know, the best thing about the n+1 formula is you don't have to
keep track of what n is.
