Travis will also need new handlebar tape, preferably 10-speed

Why doesn't Harris have any recumbent handlebar tape yet?

Dear BJK,

The cut-throat world of mail-order bicycle parts leads to ruthless
business decisions that are not immediately obvious to customers.

Harris Cyclery already loses money stocking the different kinds of
handlebar tape needed for modern Campagnolo and Shimano shifters.

Rumor has it that Sheldon may soon stop offering fixed-gear handlebar
tape.

The shop hasn't sold tublar handlebar tape for years.

It's simply impossible to break even if you have to offer handlebar
tape for both above and below the seat recumbent handlebars.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel
