I finally got around to removing the original bar tape on my Miyata 710, and the old Sakae Custom Road Champion handlebars were looking a bit corroded.

"Lifetime supply" (70pr) of MAFAC pads, brand new, not overly hard, good score.
In case anyone was wondering, you can fit exactly 70 pair of MAFAC pads into a small flat-rate USPS box.

My Rocket RAY is coming next week. Don't think folks in Marion, Indiana would dig it.

A Fabric Flat Race Saddle with C.F. rails that I didn't realize I had ordered. I just wanted to try the flat version of these saddles and didn't realize at the low price it was the C.F. railed one. Hmmm so now I need to get the proper clamps for the Thomson Seatpost I guess.
Should make for a nice final touch on this one. The black top, white bottom, should bring this build together.

I received these this week in separate deliveries: a merino long sleeve from O.C. in Portland, and the vintage French jersey and Nashbar gloves from eBay.

My Topeak PanoBike cadence sensor arrived Friday. No problems getting it working. Got two good rides in this weekend, and tonight I've been goofing around on Strava. (What a cool app!)

One of those Sanyo/Panasonic H27 dynohubs from Anthony King. I have a pretty fancy-pants dynohub wheel on the rando bike, but for the fixed-gear, I wanted to keep things inexpensive.

Okay, I'm curious. A few years ago I built a wheel for my Bianchi with a Shutter Precision SV8 so I could commute into the dark months. I've been very happy with it. But I really know little about the options for hubs except what minimal specs or reviews are available. When you get a chance and have developed opinions I'd like to know how those compare, whether you can tell an difference between them.

Maybe a dyno for dummies thread?

It's hard to stay unbiased, but from what I've read of the H27, I'll expect it to be heavier (it weighs 564g without skewer, 627g with) and a little draggier. We'll see if it's something I can perceive while riding, though.
The H27 is a full 3W, so in theory it should produce light down to lower speeds than the 2.4W SV8. I don't plan to run a dyno taillight with either setup.
I still need to buy a light and the connector (oops, why didn't I do that with the hub??) but I will definitely post my updates to the H27 thread in the Electronics/Lighting/Gadgets subforum: https://www.bikeforums.net/electroni...ts-please.html

A 1989 Cannondale ST600. I haven't even opened the box yet, just too much going on today.
Can't wait to see what shape it's in, and taking it out for a ride.
This might be my mount for the upcoming Bourbon and Tobacco Tour.
Pics coming when I get the box opened.
