Mr Hovis.. That link on handlebar wrapping is no working.. Which I was searching since I'm trying to make some Almarc style bar wraps. First efforts are promising, in patent black on cinelli retro's.. I am going to go over to the classifieds this week, get out my first offerings, and get some feedback. I'll do this unless someone tells me otherwise? I have black and dark brown leathers, and a very heavy black suede to work with at the moment. Maybe someone really keen will just PM me? First dibs is free, then £10 for next few pairs on this forum only. Hard to find right (proper Almarc style) leather, and am still learning the best stitching & sticking methods really. A new thread size will do the trick for me now,
I have searched t'net, and there's precious little on Almarc methods. Loads of moans about the distructions issued with the Toshi (see here's a decent blog on them) and price of Velo O's but it seems shellac is the way to go with old bar covers[URL="http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/2009/01/shellac-and-bar-tape-guide.html"][/URL]
