RE: rimtape
I questioned the thickness too, so I decided to go cheap to make sure I got the thickness I wanted and liked the overall look. Went to Pep Boys and bought a roll of 1/4 inch red pinstrip for $4. One roll was enough to do my whole bike. I was planning on taking it off and ordering the real but can't really see where it would make any difference so I am going to leave as is. Here is a pic of what I have got.

Edit: If you look at this pic in IE the tape doesn't look straight due to resizing issues, but opened in a picture viewer it looks right.
