Thanks for sharing that Irv. I enjoyed reading about your adventures.
I noticed Thomas Wheatley's by line and decided to check out what he's been
writing, and I realized the entire March issue of Atlanta magazine is
devoted to bikes: https://www.atlantamagazine.com/issue/march-2021/
If anyone
I've been pretty curious about this topic for a while so I finally did some
digging around. Nothing anyone hasn't already said on this and other
threads, but I'm adding it just for additional info if anyone is interested.
The basic protective tape seems to be 3M™ Industrial Protective Film
Leah,
If it turns out to be the headset (which is my bet), then like Joe said,
it's a thing that happens sometimes with new builds. I just wanted to add
that it's unlikely that anything is damaged after a short ride with it just
a bit loose. Def important to get it fixed ASAP, but I think
I'm glad Joe mentioned this, because I've been trying to solve this exact
problem. The Avid SD-7 levers (which are my favorites) interfere with
Riv-versed shifters no matter how they are swapped around, because the bolt
part of the clamp always points to the inside of the handlebar.
It's good
ODI makes ribbed grips with a flange. These are the long ones, but I feel
like I saw a short version somewhere recently

Fabric also makes ribbed grips, but lock on only and no flange.
I may have bookmarked something else similar.
There used to be a video on the VP website, but it's not there anymore.
There is only a video for the Harrier rebuild.

I didn't watch it, and you probably already found it, but if not, maybe
that's helpful.

On Friday,
Cool! Thanks for the video! I wonder what the ovalization at the seat tube
is for. My guess is also twisting. I think it's a really cool feature, and
I suspect it expands the possibilities for step through frames.

. The head gets flat in
one direction. The tail gets flat 90 degrees. Now imagine doing that with a
metal tube.
