Wow, nice looking bike. It won't look that nice after you've taken it through its paces, but still much nicer looking than my LHT.

Nice LHT! Woody Fenders (by Cody) accent well and will preform great for you too.

Like a lot! Adjust those fenders down closer to the tire. It just looks much better that way. You can cut off the extra length of the fender stays when you get it right. Check out the Rivendell fender mounting instructions somewhere here on youtube.

Why do rude? The guy likes wood, brass and Brooks. Long Haul Truckers are individual's bikes, therefore each in themselves are unique. Besides which my wife loves this bike and has asked me to build one similar. Thanks for showing this video.

Obviously, you like your bike. I like bikes too, but this makes you look like a loser who cares about nothing else. Just like a geek with a tricked out Acura that has fancy spoiler, usless muffler, and the rest of the mumbo jumbo.

Nice bike!..:)...you better have 3 locks for that bike..lol..
how is the leather tape holding up in the rain? Love the look and feel, but I have a suspicion it would fall apart after a few good soakings. I KNOW it would start smelling funky. Anyway, at least it's not stretched like the saddle. (I still have a brooks, but it gets the plastic treatment in the rain) Do you treat the handlebar tape at all?

The leather tape has held up beautifully and has developed a nice looking patina after a lot of soaking rains and a winter filled with many freeze/thaws. I recently reversed the tape, for the first time, so that I could achieve an even wear. I must say that I was nervous about how well it would hold up on the re-wrap after all of the beatings it has put up with. It was still in perfect shape and I pulled it just as tight -- maybe even tighter -- as I did on the first wrap.
