Well the bar tape, brake hood, and bar-end plug project got put on hold for a while... Life tends to get in the way of things sometimes...

Finally today though I was able to install everything and go out for a ride on it for the first time in a long time! I had removed the brake cables to wrap the bars months ago, but that's as far as I got with it. There it sat until today when I was able to return to the project, and to riding daily!

I was so excited to ride after finishing it up that I didn't bother cleaning it up at all, so please excuse all of the accumulated dust from sitting idle lol.

Every time I ride this bike all I can think to myself is "Damn, I LOVE this bike!!!" It is THE most pleasurable bicycle I have ever ridden!
