The recent thread re finishing touches on handlebar tape has me obsessing about mine. Poll time: What do you think, blue or white? (The blue wasn't a perfect color match, so I tested one side with plain white, too.)





Final build pics will have to wait until I can recover the leather on the badly-worn flite saddle--something I've never done before. If anyone has suggestions for sourcing leather, I'm all ears.

In the meantime, I can't stop looking at the newly polished shifters, which, IMHO, look so much nicer than they did with the original dark anodized finish.
