I’ve wrapped a few bars

Just going into my second season with the new shop. Hard to believe how many sets of Cinelli wrap I’ve used. That’s not counting about another dozen of either cloth wrap or another brand of tape.

Jackrabbit Coffee shop, it’s a local place co-owned by the owner of Buckskin Bikes. Great little bike shop with a great used parts room that I have full access to.

For subtle braggadocio it's hard to beat what I saw in a shop years ago. Bearings for a Campy headset come in the little plastic container with the yellow tape band. Their workbenches had 4x4 posts for support and all those posts had those yellow bands from floor to benchtop, hundreds of them.
