Catalogues arrive in the mail continually, and just as fast, without a
glance, are discarded. But the one from Rivendell, I eagerly await. I'll

FWIW, SRAM makes (or made) shift cables that were a teeny bit thinner than
typical. I think they were meant for grip shifters but I should imagine
they'd work with other types too...

I hope my negatives post wasn't too negativedarn phone typing. Anyway,
I agree 100% that they look incredible. As an amateur woodworker myself I
admire the craftsmanship in the nicer inlay flat woodies and especially the
compound curve ones. Incredible work. I similarly admire the Renovo
