Yep! There’s probably years of dried perspiration caked in the tape! Just ordered white handlebar tape. I wish I could find white hoods but I’ve seen pictures of the red bike with white bar tape with black hoods.

Not exactly by mail but shipped to my lbs and picked-up by me: the Trek Challenge freebies. Mug with their pro riders and top cap which I installed on my Stumpy Pro which took part in that challenge.

Hello,
I did not get these in the mail but on my way home from "Trader Joe's", I spied a bicycle wheel and pulled a U-turn and went back masked.
The seller was tired and in the process of closing up, he told me the day was long and there weren't that many buyers. I asked if he had anything else bike-related, he didn't know and told me he picked this stuff up at a storage auction and he thinks that there might be some other junk but hasn't gone through everything yet.
I gave him my number and asked him to call if anything else turns up...keeping my fingers crossed that the front wheel will turn up.
Happy to get the stands so I don't have to prop my bikes against the wall anymore!
Best, Ben

Today I received a pretty crank from @rustystrings61. Thanks, Russ.

That's not how you do it. Bikeforums is misleading. This is how you page @rhm.

A pair of Knipex tools, one full-size wrench pliers and the cable cutter. Already had the small version of the wrench pliers.

Seems like the site has a mind of its own half the time.
Not sure why it dropped it when I hit submit but I know members have responded without it.

@merziac, you did the right thing by starting with the @-sign. Then when you get the drop-down menu, do NOT choose the name you want. Just keep typing. It's a stupid user interface, because you're supposed to avoid doing the thing that system is tempting you to do.

A box of 25 old school, black rubberoid handgrips with finger nubs. "Nubs" is apparently the official industry term. For project bikes at the charity shop, now that regular handgrips are hard to come by.

It was a good day for the mail. Used stuff, and PBK stuff (3 days from order to door)
Used SR 11: UT Crankset with bearings, RD, FD, Ergos, 11-32 cassette, chain,
cables and green housing (from a Project One 59cm), and FSA 1.25 to 1.125 headset bearing.
He threw in a new set of Record UT cups because he had them sitting around in a box.
Some time left on the chain and cassette, lots on the rings. Everything is clean.
He included SR 12 calipers because his frame is direct-mount.
PBK fill-ins: UT SR cups, Campy Ultra-Low Friction cable set (red),
Chorus 11-sp chain, Centaur 11-32 cassette, a new set of UT bearings,
and an FSA 50T chain ring w/adapters for DA9100 cranks.
A certain frameset will be humming in a while....
Mailman been very very good to me.

New rubber!!
Got these from BikeInn (as recommended in the 26" tire thread) for a great price and arrived only 6 days after the stated delivery date.
These are the only online purchases I've made for the Mongoose I'm building up. Everything else has been from local bike shops or local CL ads.

I was convinced I’d lost these to porch pirates, but they appeared today (despite being marked as “delivered” two days ago). It’s taken more than a year to find Bata Bikers in my size that were not at some astronomical price. They turned out to be in better shape than I thought.

An Amazon phone holder for winter trainer use as the zwift companion app is useful when riding and I always stream music.
$10, easy and secure attachment, and it rotates for portrait or landscape. Thats about as good as life gets for a consumer.
Keeping it c&v, the frame and fork are an '88 Schwinn Premis and I wear my 100th bday Coppi cap when on the bike.
