Embarking now on trying re-doing the bars/cables, I hope I can save the brand-new cushion tape. I think, but am unsure, that the cable housing won't be too short.

Interesting, but I am visualizing that limiting where you can place your hands when riding?

Based on previous criticisms of my "generous" cable loops on previous bikes, I actually set this one up rather shorter.

What do you recommend? I do happen to a have a new set of Dia-Compe / Gran Compe hoods handy, but black. The Cane Creek hoods look fine to me -- but I'm listening...

If I can get results like that and it works, I guess I would be happy.
