Thanks. I've read all the VO blogs on the topic as well as Rivendell Bikes info. Just wondered if any of you actually did it.

The writer of the Lovely Bicycle blog has extensive experience of twining almost literally anything, see e.g. http://lovelybike.blogspot.com/2009/...ith-twine.html. I believe she hangs out in the TE forum from time to time, possibly under the name "Lovely Bicycle" or "Velouria", but her e-mail address is on the "About" page of her blog as well, if you have questions.

Brewer did it once and it looked great!
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

@Rebecca, yes, I forgot to mention that I've read all of her blogs as well. I love her blog actually as well as the ecovelo blog too. It looks like I'm set. I think what I'll do is to just do the ends where the black electrical tape already is and see how it goes. Not sure if I'll shellac or not. Thanks.
