Douglas Ti
The components are all mounted and waiting for the cable set to come in. I always use the Campy cables these days because they are so superior to anything else I've tried.
The seat post is going to take a while so I have several seatposts that I can install temporarily.
That leaves the handlebar tape. The stuff I installed on the Douglas Vector is blue but that is like a skin over the top of a black rubber and in less than two months has worn through. This was Shimano PRO PU SL Bar Tape (Blue) and is also indicative of things like Shimano Dura Ace cable sets. Campy lines the inside of the cables, which are thinner than usual, with a plastic liner of low friction material. Shimano coats their cables with a low friction material that rapidly wears off on the otherwise normal cable outers...
Some of the Chinese stuff I respect and trust is EC90. They usually go out of their way to protect their brand name with quality control that I have never found wanting.
