Which ones are you referring to? The short pull standard canti/side pull/U-Brake/Rollercam brake lever or the long pull, linear/V-Brake lever? Thanks, Reginald Alexis On Thursday, January 18, 2024 at 9:46:41 AM UTC-6 Batwing wrote: > Hey All, > > Silver Shimano Deore Brake Levers are all

SO PRETTY. Leah and I were talking and although a great RIDING bike is most important, I think it elevates the ride if one also smiles at it too for being so pretty/ practical / high end items or whatever makes one smile. Enjoy the ride! Roberta On Wednesday, January 17, 2024 at 4:18:52 PM

Eric, It appears the vest fabric is still good, yes ? If so can you sew, or know someone who does ? Fabric stores and/or online shops sell sew-on reflective trim/tape sold by the yard/meter. It need not be placed where the other tape is either. FWIW, some fabric adhesive like McNett Seam Grip
