After 15 years I'm getting back into bicycling on my old Miyata. I've got
new tires and tubes, new brake pads and brake handle covers ordered.
Found black cotton handlebar tape too.

Now I just need to find a source for regular half-finger gloves made of
leather with a crocheted cotton back. No lycra, no gel, no foam, no terry
cloth. Cannondale apparently no longer makes the ones I used to buy.
Anyone have a source?

the black crochet pair (med. dark leather) I have has a subtle terry
strip near the thumb that is easier on the nose than crochet ever
was... Don't know if they are made in white. Well, not as bad as dark
socks.

My faves were Pearl Izumi Gel, not too much (Spenco), a lot more
vibration protection than seems available in what I've seen over the
last several years. Any substitutes out there? --TP

I ordered these. They seem to be a good value at about $9.50? but realize
that the palms are not pure leather. They have foam sandwiched between two
thin layers of leather.
