"Can the proper leather be purchased today, and from whom? I have seen enough non vintage leather covered bars around so as to suspect that there are many artisans (such as those that do classic car steering wheels) that can do this type of work. I don't care to purchase Cinelli or Almarc bars. I'm sure that someone on our list knows where this type of work can be done. George Hollenberg MD"
