RE: [RBW] Re: Rambouillet white out!
Huh, that is weird. The tan bag on my bike now is a newer version than my black one, too, so maybe they've revised how they hang a bit? How old is yours? The Regal rails are a bit closer together than typical bag loop spacing---I compenstated by angling them outward just a bit and it seems to work fine. I'll see if I can get a shot of it.

It's got two shorter leather straps cinched up to Vivo saddlebag loops. (designed to work with the loops on a B-17) It hangs higher and more nicely than the other one I have, which is a single longer crosswise strap which goes through the saddle rails.

RE: [RBW] Re: Rambouillet white out!
Thanks, Chris--hope I won't have to change it quite that often to keep it looking new(ish)...B-) It's Fizik "microtex," bar tape and it reportedly holds up well to a good scrubbing. Probably find out soon enough.

This Rambouillet looks fantastic! White bar tape is as classic as one can get, in a racy kind of way. (I was the race official "in charge of" Jonathan Boyer when he won the Race Across America in 1985. His mechanic put new white bar tape on all three of his bikes every day of the race. I never forgot that.) I like the pairing of the "racey" white tape and saddle with the fenders and saddle bag. The contrast works nicely! (And orange, well, that's Eddy's color, so that's just plain excellent.)

Re: [RBW] Re: Rambouillet white out!
Looks to me like the Planet Bike Cascadia fenders, one of my favorites. I think the white saddle and bar tape look great, but then i use it myself on my 'cross bike; i rather like the grunge and decay of cloth bar tape over time.
