While looking for some perforated and stitched handlebar tape (essentially custom), something like this in black with bright red and white highlights for the Missus...

Camera
DMC-GF1

Focal Length
20mm

Aperture
f/1.8

Exposure
1/800s

ISO
100

Image pilfered from one of the links below.

...I ran across this page and some nice work down near the bottom that pointed me to Busyman Bicycles and pages and pages (worth a browse) of some very nice work with custom tape and saddles that got the imagination working. I particularly like what he does behind the perforations. For example...

There's some very clever and creative people out there.

This is the best advice anybody will ever get and its what I always tell people when the ask about upgrade questions.

AJC has kindly sent me this link

I've already sent an email with questions about age and model and cassette size. Let's see what comes back.

I'll be honest I do wonder when people post photos that show bit parts of things.

Bikepedia seems to show they did them with 105 or Dura-Ace so I guess that one has been upgraded to Ultegra at some point.
