They are flared and wide, and these are the narrower of the woodchippers.

Cinelli Voleesoft bartape is nearly the same as some tennis wraps if anyone is looking for the same feel (squishy/soft).

Your cog is slipping.

I just got some Cinelli Volee tape. It's ****ing awesome and very grippy, even when wet.

davis is flat (no hills, sure ill lower if and when i move). spinning no more than 151rpm. go no faster than 40mph ever. brake still works well at 40mph.
i'm surprised even you're butting in on this. like i said, i cant convince you that it works, you'll have to run the setup and your doubts will be disproved.
my poseur knees are fine tho~ (maybe because its flat)

I like it. I have a soft spot for vintage conversions, and yours is really clean. Here's mine, again:

That green paint job is gorgeous. Gold cranks kind of clashing with it though... at least atmo.

yeah i didn't expect it to be so bright. i might try to save up for black sg75's but for now at least, i'm keeping it.
and it's a two stage powdercoat, the first is green with gold metal flecks and the second is a really deep clear, so it looks like wet paint even though it's a full powdercoat with intense hardness and thickness.
and the wheels are my white dp18's hand MEK stripped and noxon polished. my other pics will show the colors a little truer and not blown to hell by a bare speedlight.

My new build. Link for background here if you're bored. https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...2#post10968297
Update: Sold the schwinn for $40 more than I bought it for. Traded my old campy 8s wheels for a fixed gear set. Traded my friend a modern brake for a slightly less modern brake that has the proper bolt for my fork. Need to find a real seatpost, wire the brake and I should be all set.
Running 40/16 gearing, the chainring bolts aren't tightened in the pics but don't worry, I just did it.

I usually don't like green, but that green looks awesome. I think the gold cranks is perfect for that green. Good job cc! 
And this is mine.

the threadless adapter looks little off, but otherwise that's a total street rod! makes me think of a mark2 gti with bbs rms.
and one more of mine for good measure... this time without direct lighting.
you can see the gold mica sheen in the undercoat in this one.
