Thanks and I'll get a picture of my bike up soon. I just replaced both hoods with gum ones and put on new white brake cables. Today I am heading to the local LBS to pick up new white bar tape. If I do a good job it will motivate me to take some pics. - Joe

I will just take mine to the LBS and tell them to put an affordable cartridge BB in.

As for bar tape, I just got some new tape- dark brown and black mottled color, to match my dark brown Brooks saddle. This is what it looks like with the old cork tape (which got torn up a bit in a recent fall); I haven't put the new tape on yet.
