The bar tape isn't quite as a 'glowing' orange color in person and does match the decals fairly well. Jeff, when did your Nashbar order come in for your seattube cage mount? I placed my order on the same day I think and haven't seen mine come in yet. Hopefully soon.

As far as the fireplace goes - absolutely - we get some cold temps down this far during the winter. Not as often or as long as you northerners, but it still gets down to fireplace weather.
