Thanks, all, for the nice comments. I've finished wrapping the bars. No twine for the moment. Now, I love twine. I have twined before and will twine again. I twined and shellacked the wrapped kickstand. But I'm not yet sold on the 46 cm Noodles, so I think of the present configuration as a

I just bought an 8-speed cassette from RBW and they sent me a Shimano Hyperglide HG51-8-aw 11-32, and yours looks the same, so I was wondering if that is what they used. If you buy an 8 speed general Cassette from their Cassettes offering page, they give no description of what it
