Leah, don't sweat it too much, but do what you can to minimize the damage, just having a bike (or bikes) on a vacation is such a special treat, one that you only get by driving. My son and I drove to California a couple years ago, took our bikes and had a great time riding in Santa Fe, Sedona, Fresno & Fairfax (Repack) those experiences are priceless when compared to a little wear & tear. I agree with the irony of the Rivendell experience; buy a beautiful (& expensive) bike and then let it kind of go. I think if you can afford to spend $1,600+ on a bike splashing for a new set of $12 grips shouldn't be a big issue, no need to make some out of twine and some pieces of felt. I enjoy it when Grant does that kind of thing, but I have built up a selection of grips over the years and I'll try swapping them out from time to time, but I am not making my own out of felt scraps. :-)
