Its the brooks leather tape and i like it a lot in terms of feel etc. It came on a different bike and I did not like it much on that bike form a color perspective, but it feels great! This is again the wrong color for this bike, but I would not hesitate to use brooks tape in the future if it matches. It feels good and wraps nice as far as im concerned.

Completed this Lotus Legend after a lot of churn on my winter projects. Frame is Columbus SL hand brazed by Tsunoda in Japan. More of a sport tourer sort of set-up for days when I'd rather just ride than hammer.

Is that the group from the cheap, wrecked Bianchi last year? (Have a weird memory sometimes, don't remember much of last week but I remember you got a deal on that... Ha)

Some of the other Bianchi donor parts will make it onto my next build, and most of the rest are going on a bike that I'm building as a fast/sleeper campus bike for my friends kid at UW Madison.
Now that it's the end of January, it seems long ago that I picked the Bianchi up in late August

[QUOTE=Machine Age;18487470]They are Clement Strada LGG 700x28. Best all around and do anything tires I have owned. I have done road, gravel, grass, and even a bit of cut through trails on them.

here is an in progress shot:
I decided I won't have the money to spend on a full repaint and new 11 speed awesomeness anytime soon, and I might as well just build up a parts bin version with some stickers on it to hide the paint damage.
I was hoping i could finish today but realized I don't have any cable stops for my downtubes... ghah. forgot about that!
so far:
59cm Look Hinault r753 frameset
Mavic 305 headset
cinelli stem
10 speed dura-ace brifters
11-27t cassette
ultegra cranks & RD
600 tricolor FD
105 black dual pivot brakes
reynolds solitude wheels
bontrager seatpost and drops.
take THAT parts bin!!
I have some red housing which may look good, or may be a bit too much. we will see.

I'm sure it'll look great even after you pub cables on.

wish I had invisible cables! I put the brake cables on and it looks ok as red. I'll wait until the whole shebang is done before posting any more pics.

with cables! all red, though there has been talk of getting blue and yellow mix. still waiting on pedals - some junk on there now just for testing.

It would look pretty sweet with red, yellow, and blue cable housing to match the bike. Still, looks sweet as is, but not quite as nice as with the "invisible" cables

1983 Schwinn Super Sport Retromod
Well it took me about a year, but here is my "new" bike. Was a black '83 Super Sport that I got on CL for $120. The paint was horrible and could not be saved so I went custom. What do you think?
