Subject: [CR]The romance is gone

I have just covered a set of handle bars on a freshly built up older bike of mine a Steven Calvert with old Campagnolo NR parts and the last thing to do was the bar tape with the old stand by Velox cloth tape. then all these memories came back. This stinks! I tried to remember if there was some old trick to get it to lay flat but noooo. Too many years of Cinelli cork tape in my hands. My hands have lost the grip to get it to not get those little folds in the tape. Then I remembered I never could get it to lay down perfect I would be happy to just hide it under the bar where the customer might not see it. I did remember to hide both of the ends under the new rubber hoods so it looks pretty clean. I need to find some one who likes to do this, maybe Ray or Dave is coming over for Friday night beer and I can get them to do it for me. Other then selling my soul does any body have any stories to get it to lay flat for me. Steven Willis 1778 East Second Street Scotch Plains NJ 07076 908-322-3330 http://www.thebikestand.com
