Speaking of excommunication, I'm thinking it's time to replace the tape on the Professional ('74). It has what was once white cloth (Tressoplast?). The bike was in its day a noble racer for my dad and is these days an equally noble century mount for me. Except for tires, it's otherwise unmolested. So: cotton for original appearance (soon to be a dishwater gray) or go Benotto to look sick with the mink/silver paint?
