Please tell me you're ordering more! I promise to make up an order with some skewers to make it worth paying the shipping.<br /><br />As for primary colors on 'em - seems to me like everybody's got red bikes (d-mn you, Specialized!), but I have no idea who modifies their bikes, or doesn't.Plain_Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583521087605958816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-35814555018269582502012-08-27T08:03:31.421-04:002012-08-27T08:03:31.421-04:00how about copper and black for colors?

The original Campy bar end shifters used resin, and finding one that's not cracked or disintegrating is not easy.

But they aren't so nice looking. It would be fantastic if you could do a classy looking bar end that doesn't damage everything it comes in contact with. In the meantime I'll stick to cork or the Velox ones.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05729538786977208156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-84869016675556392592012-08-20T12:01:20.762-04:002012-08-20T12:01:20.762-04:00Wine corks work great and look really nice when sh...Wine corks work great and look really nice when shellacked :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1498904190424408002012-08-20T07:35:35.798-04:002012-08-20T07:35:35.798-04:00Please make them for 22.2.

Also, just because it's my personal accent color, a good medium orange would be a lovely addition to the primaries :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822782324870099615noreply@blogger.com
