I'm pretty sure Gilles Berthoud uses the leather chain stay protectors on his frames. You might check with Bill Laine at Wallingford Bicycle Parts as they carry all the cool Berthoud stuff...
In fact, Gilles Berthoud will be making a personal appearance at Wallingford in New Orleans next month! Jump on that Herse and ride on down.
