Can anyone point me to a synthetic leather bar tape in black that is
logo-free? Does such a thing exist? And if so, is it good and grippy?

Thanks, Steve. In fact, I was curious about the Microtex, which I saw

If you're feeling low budge, Colorado Cyclist also makes a perforated

Fizik stuff). The colors look perverse for outfitting a Rivendell but
black is always safe. It's comfy, lasts forever, and looks/stays
clean.

Patrick,
Yes, that statement does sound a bit contradictory in retrospect. Let
me clarify. Jim asked me if I expected monetary
consideration, or credit or something specific. With regard to those
specific expectations I truly had none. In other words, I didn't
expect Rivendell to give me money

So I was at a Riv dealer (only has SH's) and the dealer said that some
of the Sam's were made in Waterford. While this seems highly doubtful,
I thought I would throw it out there. He was not talking about any

not correct him

You have a beautiful bike but it just shows we've all got different

Thank you. Now I feel a little more sane. I don't think I was
expecting the bike to be utterly flawless, but for nearly $4000 there
sure are a lot of little flaws.
Rides like a dream though. And it's very hard to spot those little
flaws while I'm riding. So, there's that. ;-)
