The French have been shellacing cotton tape for many years. You will
want to apply the shellac lightly adding multiple coats as desired.
Depending on the shellac used, the original color will change
somewhat.
If you only use one or two coats, the cotton feel is pretty much
unchanged. Three or m

I recently tried shellaced cloth tape and I'm surprised and delighted
by how well it has held up over 3000 miles of riding. For probably
fifteen years I had been screwing around with various forms of cork
padded tape and they all start to chip up, migrate and loosen after a
few months and if the

Ditto on shellacked cloth.
I've tried Brooks leather, shellacked cork, and modern plastic.
Shellacked cloth comes out as my favorite.
Durability is excellent. I had over 7k miles on shellacked blue cloth
on my Romulus when I sold it and the tape was still in excellent shape.

George,
I've never tried putting shellac on the rubberized tape sold by Sram
and others. I've had the type of tape you describe on several bikes in
the past - it comes in more colors and styles, so I understand why one
might choose it over cork. Given that tape is relatively inexpensive
stuff, I

Thanks. I do tend to max out my stems too. Good thing is that the post

I agree that the shellac wears quickly, especially in the places that
I grip most often. This has never bothered me since it
sally hansen "marine scene" is a perfect match - i used it on my
bleriot. apply it quickly and sparingly, and let it fill in to the
edges rather than going up to the edge with the brush. resist the
temptation to touch it up once you've stopped, as it gets tacky
quickly. you can go over it again
I've decided to fit cloth over some recycled comfy cork and then
shellac it. Shellac on cork tend to look like... a wiener sausage!

Bill and Fenderbender,
Thanks for those ideas. I will use one of these techniques on the
Atlantis when I return from my summer tour. Bill, that's a beautiful
tape job and exactly why I might be inclined to use cloth instead of
cork for my next tape job.

Franklyn et. al.-
Interesting area. I'd like to loop Orr Springs with Low Gap but after
having looked - it may be a bit ambitious given that it totals 45
miles and 6500' of climbing. Out on dirt, back on pavement? Is
Running Springs Ranch Road a public road? Is it paved?
Are there any other

Hey All,
We took a little time today to put the new Sam Hillborne frameset

An interesting and challenging route would be to start in Ukiah and
head out Orr Springs to the coast, then down past Mendocino and Albion
to Hwy 128. Take that back to Hwy 253 and climb back over the
mountains to Ukiah. That would be a nice day's ride.

For people interested in this area, I recommend that you find Lonely Planet's

I used it to learn some good rides down in Sonoma County. I've read in that
book about a loop that included Ukiah, but haven't had a chance to do it yet.

i'm thinking a lugged frameset with sloping top tube is a good GP
idea. if for no other reason, to the best of my knowledge, the only
other readily available "sloping" lugs come at quite the price from
Kirk Pacenti and maybe Waterford. See a Sam in person, you might want
one more than ya think.
Thanks. Nice to see some close ups. The lugs look even nicer in
close-up. Especially the cut-outs behind the head tube. And the
front of the seat tube lug.
Is the highlight on the fork cream (like the Atlantis) or off-white?

Nathan,
Not to be discouraging, but IMO a Moustache bar will not necessarily
give you a more upright position. If you use the same stem, the wide
grips of the 'stash will actually be lower than the ramps of the
Noodle, the forward section will be pretty far forward, and you won't

I run M-bars w/ a 2cm shorter stem extension. Same height as with other
bars. The position on the very ends definitely gives you a different
position that drops can't provide. It's lower than the stem (~2cm) but
maybe 4cm closer to you:
