Thanks Brian! The bar wrap is teal, but dusty from the trail. I had the bike built by riv and didn't specify anything either way regarding treatment but I think they put on a coat of clear shellac (this is my first time using cloth tape and not sure I know the difference between shellacked and not, but it doesn't seem like just plain fabric).
All--I agree with Ted, keep the photos coming. It's everyone's beautiful images that inspired me to stop being a lurker and share mine. --dan On Mon, Jun 19, 2023 at 4:52 PM Brian Turner <brokeb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dan, those photos are incredible, and your Homer looks fantastic!
