Aldo (and Ann) A year and a half ago, Neill Currie shared with the list the name of a harness maker in Pennsylvania who made for Neill some leather handlebar strips modeled after a set of Cinelli cork tape that Neill had sent him. I called the shop last year, and he made a set in honey tan and a set in black for me (to match with a couple of Brooks saddles). The cost was about $25 per set. I highly recommend the product.
The man's name is Joel. He works at: Mark's Harness Shop 1809 Springs Road Springs, PA 15562-9705
I no longer have his phone number, but if you search the archives, I think Neill provided one, probably around September of '01.
