I find that unless you have some kind of hand issue, tape is tape. I used cheap Origin8 tape all year and then replaced it with 'fancy' $25 Shimano Pro tape out of desperation the other day. The difference is meh.

I went with cheap (appr $9) tape to get some practice before I get a Gilles Berthoud saddle with matching tape later this year or next spring. I don't really like cork tape, but it's very similar to what's already on the stock Wabi bars, so at least I know what I'm getting. I have no idea as to the relative merits of cheap and expensive cork tape however.

That light somehow reminds me over that should-mounted blaster (or rocket launcher or whatever it is) from The Predator movies.

But i've heard/read good things.
I've been riding the regular Strada LGG for some time and I think they are great road tires for the price. Not too puncture prone and fine cornering grip.

Oh, in case you were wondering, the BB is for the old Sugino 75 cranks that I'm removing for the new Sugino DD75 cranks that include an outboard BB.

People keep posting things locally for ridiculous prices and I can't help myself. In the last two days I've picked up an enve seatpost, ritchy/cadence stem, and cinelli mash bullhorns all for about a 1/3rd of their regular price.
