I'd think that finish will come back nicely with a clean, polish, and wax

If 1 and 1/8 spacer is too big for my Ritchey fork, is the best size down 1 inch?

Glad that you're only bruised. Ice like that hurts... bad.

If 1 1/8 too big then 1 inch is a safe bet. Forks are one or the other, or sometimes both (tapered....1 1/8 bottom and 1 at top, last time I checked. That could be dated).

The virus is never going to simply go away. It will always be mutating and looking for a way to sow its seeds. Look at polio, for example. As good as the vaccines are, and the extent to which it has been administered, there are always flare ups in different parts of the world. The flu is another example. The flu shot/vaccine helps minimize the burden on the system to a manageable level. No matter what you do, there is always going to be someone who dies.

Ill give my wife the pleasure of wrapping the bars.
Taking the ritchey out for the first time today. I used my Cervelo to loosely position everything. Will be interesting to see how it feels.

Dang! My cousin the veterinarian was riding her bike and was involved in a hit and run a few days ago down in MD. She suffered some sort of leg fracture that needs surgery and has a very sore shoulder which makes using crutches to get around difficult.
Fortunately, a witness got the vehicle's license plate number, and the cops got the vehicle operator. From what my aunt described, sounds like a right hook.
Some people suck. Big time.

She should look into one of these if the leg's gonna be out of commission for a while:

One of my partners got one as a rental once and was favorably impressed. Also, you can still get one with a manual transmission.
