Thanks! It's Charge U-Bend tape. (fake leather) I definitely don't recommend it though. It looks pretty but it has zero grip and within the first few rides it's sliding and bunching up. I'm a pretty good bar wrapper too so I don't think it's user error.
I might shellac it once I take this stuff off...

wheels; ritchey "aero" (looks just like velocity aeros to me, but the hubs are ritchey... might all just be re-branded velocity).. strangely the spokes are stamped with the ritchey logo
frame: 60cm
stem: 120cm
height: 6'3"

If you are ever in central Iowa I've got several bikes you could ride.

Today (finally) I got the 930 rideable, and rode it in-between the intermittent rain showers that lasted all day.
It took a while for it to figure out what it wanted to be: a confused C&V beater - Dura Ace 7400 derailleurs and freewheel, Campagnolo Record hubs, cranks, and C-Record Syncro II shifters. I will build up a front wheel to match the rear, already have the rim and hub, and just ordered the spokes. The Fiamme Ergal rim on the front now feels like it is not much stronger than tinfoil ( at ~270 grams for the rim, it might not be) and has a few dents. And the (new) front tire is lumpy. The wheel and tire will be saved as a spare, and the new front wheel will get a new Wolber Team tire since I have a few of those as spares from another project. Now to find the time to finish that other project

It still looks excessive and I thought I use a lot of housing.
It depends on the housing though. Basic wire housing is pretty flexy, woven housing is stiff, while something like Nokon lets you make sharp bends without consequence.

I haven't. I was think about getting it when I was looking for some good housing to replace the cheap stuff I have been using on my bike. I ended up getting woven housing because QBP no carry Yokozuna.
