white tape is for girly-men. Manly men have greasy paws.

I'm even going to utilize crisp white HandleBra after Labor Day and not feel even a pang of fashion guilt.

Isn't white the absence of color?

Black is the absence of color (absorption of light), white is the reflection of all colors. That's why black items get hot and white items don't. :p

Yup, Dave, you are right. In my quest to be a witty wag and to waste bandwidth, I got it backwards.

See what a major in fine arts during high school and college can accomplish? For 45 years I've been dying to spring that on someone!

I wish now that I had waited to purchase mine until I actually needed it. The new would have been more preferable to me since I am not much of a do it yourselfer when it comes to these things. I still have not installed mine but am getting close. I was afraid you would not have red in stock when I wanted it. Oh, well, next time. Unless someone wants to purchase some old style that has been treated with Lexol nf and never installed.

AH, do you guarantee the new waterproof version feels as good as the original. For a guy that took quite awhile to get going you have really picked up speed inventorying and also developing a new model already. The word must be getting out and sales are good! Testament to a good product.

Does the dark brown match the Brooks Antique Brown saddles? I'm looking to pair these with a nice yeller Peg.

I just received some blue wrap - it was waaaaaay too short ;) .....

Can't wait to put it on the new to me CSI - I think I have enough to wrap the bars, the top tube, and perhaps the down tube as well! Thanks for the extra long wrap!

I need to treat it first - all I have on hand is proof ride so I might wait until I get some of that other product...

I did go for a ride yesterday (Woot! not bad for being only 3 months post ankle surgery!) and was loving the handlebra wrap on the Hors cat - I don't even wear gloves much anymore. This stuff gives a great bike an even better ride - seriously. Your hands will be happy!

Thanks Ray!

Is the cobalt blue similar to the blue you show in the gallery on your site?

Or is it closer to the blue on Bruce K's Bedford?

Or are those the same color, and the web images just look different? :)

The original Cobalt and the new HHB Cobalt are very similar in color.

The blue /white stitched on the Bedford is a good representation.

It's been a rather popular color ...
