My hands? They ain't the boss of me. I tell them to toughen the heck up.


I fluctuate between perfect tape and what I have on hand. I'm always on the look out for good tape buys (ie as part of combined shipping on eb...)

My rain bike (also my daily rider recently), has a tear at the inside of the right brake lever. and sometimes starts to unwrap. I got it that way 2 years ago. Definition of cheap, (and lazy).

I thought a yellow saddle, cable, tape and painted highlight scheme would be perfect on my rebuilt '74 Ron Cooper (repainted in the original British racing green). The yellow Tressostar tape was too egg-yolk for me, so I tore it off, changed the cables to white, saddle and tape to black. Boring, but will do untill I get it right.
White Saddle and tape?
