    Love the copper color. Your bike looks terrific, and since you love the fit, congratulations! You finally found it!

    Good luck finding that bar tape. You can get an exact match with the Brooks tape, but it's pretty pricey. I wound up with brown tape from Soma, but its a light brown. If anyone else knows of a dark brown tape (not cloth), I'd like to know also!

    Gorgeous! Congratulations!

    You can get exact match leather tape from Brooks, or you can get cork and use a brown shellac over it to make it match. (I've seen some nice effects with shellac, and I'm pretty sure thats how LisaSH does her bars.)

    Nice bike!

    My vote goes to the cork tape like LisaSH has. I love it.

    Purty bikes, MDs has a similar colour scheme to my Giant... veeeery nice.

    Bene's coda sport... black and red is always stylish, a sweet looking bicycle.

    However, Elk's Aurora does appeal to me most - and this is surprising because brown is not my fave colour... but this bike is such a delightful combo of shades I think of full-cream chocolate, and who's not to love chocolate???

    I'm probably biased at a glance at these pics because I prefer drops on a bike anyway...

    Lurve bike porn... keep it coming (were we going to ask for a "Bike Porn" forum?)
