All of this talk about tape, has reminded me of something. Back in the early

80s, a riding partner of mine had his bars encased in a leather cover that was laced on. It was rather like the leather steering wheel covers one used to see on sports cars. At the time, I was strictly a "cork tape" man and didn't use it. Now I'd like to try it but don't know if it's available. Anybody know of a source?
