Adding to the Wardrobe

Accessories, as most of you know, are a girls best friend...so I couldn't help but ask Dale at Epic to wrap my bars w/ matching cork tape!  Does that look hot or what?





I'm also pretty stoked b/c by the end of next week, I'll have a new bike rack on my car if all goes well.  The manufacturer says it isn't recommended for my vehicle because I have a rear mounted spare tire but I've researched it and I believe there is plenty of clearance.  So if all goes well, I'll have one of these babies to show off soon:






And since we are talking about things I like, I should just go ahead and throw out there that I'm currently coveting this  beautiful piece of technology (you know, in case anyone is feeling generous):



My bike is starting to look better than my closet...

  2. tape comes in all kinds of colors! All I want when the money tree starts to bloom is a cutting so I can root my own!

  3. I'm having a hard time with it right now. I think the rain killed it. If it comes back I'll be sure to save you a cutting!

  4. As that guy said " it's not about the bike" , however if a bar tape or bike computer helps the enthusiasem, then endulge. If you feel good, then you'll feel good while riding. That's all that counts. I may not reply tonight.

  5. That color you are admiring is called Celeste in the Bianchi world. It shows that you have excellent taste.

    I just acquired that bit of technology that you are coveting. Now all I have to do is attach it to a bike and ride somewhere. So far it has accurately tracked exactly how fast and how far my couch has moved.
