Morning all, As a diversion from the work I'm supposed to be doing here today, I checked an email, and to my very pleasant surprise, the folks at Fizik JUST told me that my comments/requests have been answered ! (ok.. maybe they were YOUR requests too !)

They now offer two new colours of the bartape, _Antique Brown_, and _Honey Brown_ ! All for the $15-$20 price that all their fabulous 'microtek' tapes are easily found for. I've used and loved this tape for years (the red on my old Motobecane has actually gotten a BIT darker..and looks ok'ish).... but now having these new color choices is great. Fizik had in a catalog (or interbike?) a special 'package' a couple years ago, with one of their oober light saddles plus a roll of microtek tape... IN a very nice brown (think it was the Antique brown). But I found the cost of the package was pretty steep. I've emailed them at least 3 times since, hopin they'd offer just the tape.

So - I've called around LA here - nope, nobodys got it yet. I clicked a few online source - nope, not yet. ANY IDEAS ?? Has anybody seen this new stuff ??? I want IT!

Here's shots I grabbed from the fizik's site: http://www-hsc.usc.edu/~rpinder/HoneyBrown.jpg http://www-hsc.usc.edu/~rpinder/AntiqueBrown.jpg

Happy 4th to you all.
