Thanks. And that's a beautiful bike! Color combo works well.
I put some baseball glove conditioner on it first. A few more coats will darken it each time. I have amber shellac. I used it on the cloth tape for the Miyata. It hardens it quite a bit. I think this tape needs some good old chain grime rubbed in. Soon enough I reckon.
Took it out this afternoon for a few more road miles. It really rides well. I'm only back on bike a few weeks, so oversteering into a corner at speed still makes me nervous. This bike just grooves. So far, so good.
