any idea where I might find some?
you could go the cork route
or the leather way...try ebay....
Wallingford Bicycle sells leather Brooks grips:

There are some very nice looking grips in (and look at the saddle bag :D ):

I knew about the Brooks, but I just don't think I can put that much into hand grips. LOVE the second ones and LOOK, that is also my Nantucket basket...and my castle in the background! :D
Here are a couple more places you can get them. Exact same ones that were on my Bianchi. A perfect match for the honey Brooks.
Universal Cycles
Jenson USA
I thought I recognized the basket!

Very classic looking, and very comfortable/warm to the touch. I saw one at Rivendell with albatross bars and the cork grips. They offered to let me ride it, but I was afraid to...
I have a black Brooks saddle on my road bike.
I'd love to put a honey colored Brooks with brown grips on my new mixte, WHENEVER it gets here (for something different).
Someone on the "show us your mixte thread had a red bike with brown saddle and grips. Do you think brown would look bad on this bike (with different handlebars) considering it has the small touches of black on it?

I think it would be lovely!
not to mention my brown Nantucket basket. :D
