thanks for the heads-up

I had an issue with the chain-line and had to go JIS on the BB to get it to line up right. It's ridden often and hasn't had an issue.

stitch the leather on the bike or can you take it on and off?

I stitched it using some waxed linen thread and a leather punch. I had some pieces of leather lying around from a furniture project and just liked the look better than a kashimax plastic piece. I can remove it if i want to with an exacto to cut the lacing but it serves well to protect from the bars and gives me a tiny place to lean it to a poll if i have to lock it up.

Oh... I get it.

I been wondering what those bulges on the top tubes were on track bikes. They protect the head tube from the bars smacking it, don’t they? I feel so stupid, but at least I’m not too proud to say I didn’t know up till now…

Thanks for the epiphany guys!
