Thanks -- wish I'd seen it earlier. The 100s are sold out and the 110s will be too long. Damn!

Re: [RBW] Newbaum's Tape is Great and Better Hunqapillar photos
That is an unusual place to find one of those stems! Looks good! I second the appeal to Riv to remake those stems, but with a much longer quill. I do think that, if you are going to raise a bar high above the steerer, the extension ought to have a positive angle, and the Ritchey splits the difference between a 7 and an upjutter. And, the Ritchey is simply a nice looking stem. In fact, if anyone has something like that in a 9 cm, I 'd be interested ... I have one of those XT rds on the Fargo and yes, they are nice. But, odd: when I switched from the 9 sp LX because it was reverse pull, I found that the XT was much less precise and had to re-learn my shifting technique. Too bad Shimano can't make this old 8 sp XT rd with the same travel precision that the newer LX has. Since I've learned to modify my shifting, the XT is excellent, but that LX was something else altogether. Tape: it doesn't look as good, but let me again plug the Lizard Skin DSP line. I use the 2.5 mm on my Rivs and the 3.2 mm on the Midge on the Fargo. For comfort, the best tape I've used. On Sat, Jan 26, 2013 at 11:57 PM, Scot Brooks scothinck...@gmail.comwrote: Looks awesome!

[RBW] Newbaum's Tape is Great and Better Hunqapillar photos
To get a bar tape that is a good match to the kidney bean color found on some Rivendells, Newbaum's tape in maroon with one coat of CLEAR shellac hit the mark to my standards on my Hunqapillar. I recently put up 3 pictures of the Hunqapillar. Here I add two more without the flash reflecting off of the bag and tires. In the following photo, you can sort of see how the Newbaum's came out after the one coat of shellac. http://www.flickr.com/photos/46035786@N07/8418276301/in/photostream/ I continue to ride this bike almost every day, both to work and for fun. I can't think of anything I wouldn't do with this bike. Albatross bars VERY far extended with a LONG stem have been good for me. I knew you had to get them forward more, but I think on my first try a couple years ago, I didn't go far enough. For me, none of the Nittos would be long enough for use with Albatross. For me, Albatrosses work well with something even longer like an early 90's mountain Ritchey. Luckily, I had that in the box. Rivendell should get Nitto to make those again for use with the Bosco (nonBullmoose) bars. The 25.4 clamp would be a match too! Finally, Newbaum's tape is really nice. High quality with good adhesive on the back: http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/gt1.htm -Jim W. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
