Best place and price for leather downtubes?

I'm interested in getting leather covered downtubes. My plastic one's are already getting small scratches and I saw a picture of the leather wraped one's and they looked pretty nice. Anyone know who sells them and who has the best price? I thought about having a local upholstry shop just cover mine with black leather, but it's probably a better idea to just buy them. Any thoughts or ideas would be welcome.

check out Minspeed.net Pete is a great guy. I do alot of business with him. I'm pretty sure he has them there, or has somebody that can do it.

plus he's near you. sort of... pompano beach.

hope that helps!

Do these things do anything to reduce plastic-rattle from the downtubes?
