jiangshi Yes, I about to purchase one that looks right,105. I think 100 is close to the length I like.
Finished wrapping the bars. Just have a couple of more parts coming, Bottle cages and QR's. For now this is how it looks.

Not bad for a 60.
I found the Fizik tape refreshing in many ways. The tape is not super sticky so you can pull and apply multiple times. Biggest challenge, other than wrapping evenly, is going around the lever bodies. Good enough for now.

May shorten up the shift cables a bit more to avoid the cross over. Trying to keep the radius out of the tape from being too small.
Shifts incredibly well. better than anything else in the stable. I guess I will have to do something about the Pinarello to get it to this level. First would be to check out the Ergos
Brakes are unsurpassed in stopping power. Very little touch needed. may need to put the Chorus double pivots on the Pinarello! Going to try the new Koolstops first.
Going to park it in the study while I wait for the parts and take it out when it is cool in the morning. Very satisfying experience. Despite the "Patina" resulting form being a riding bike for the last 20 or so years. I think it is stunning, IMHO. Thanks
