Thanks! The tape is nice and thick and soft. It felt real good on this morning's commute. Kinda like a nice leather steering wheel. :) Good grip, too. On Jun 21, 10:21 pm, RoadieRyan rya...@hotmail.com wrote: WOW! what a gorgeous build the details are fantastic.  As cool as the harlequin bar

Very pretty bike, and at a very reasonable price. Good Luck with the sale. This list is not full of people lusting after this kind of go- fast bike, so you'll probable have to use craigslist or ebay. I didn't have much luck trying to sell a similar error and style Marinoni (

Hey Thanks, Eric. I'll post about it in awhile when I've ridden it for a bit. I also posted a few more photos in the gallery of my bike, this time with the cork wrap shellacked. There are close-ups of the hubs and one shot of the lower head lug and fork crown, too. Camera battery died while I

Nice bike Bruce! You win the Beefiest Tires I've Seen on a Rambouillet award. It's refreshing to see someone doing something a bit different. I'm running 32s with fenders, I do have 37s on the Atlantis...smooth tires! Thanks for the post. Angus On Jun 22, 6:47 pm, Bruce

[RBW] Today's ride

A nice 200k ride with my friend Kellen. We rode from North Portland out to Ripplebrook Ranger Station. Basically a long out and back but 50 miles of it were on this beautiful stretch of road with minimal traffic and following the Clackamas River. I was tired at the end but no cramps or bonk.
