Cork handgrips

I know cork handgrips are still made - but does anyone know anyone who
sells them? I'm getting bored of the plastic ones on the roadster.

And, indeed, as I said "handgrip". :-)

You (Rob Morley) are entirely correct about what I am looking for.
Rivendell have 'em, but I'd prefer a UK supplier if possible.

"restocking shortly"

They get grubby very quickly, you can clean them with sandpaper or shellac
them, or you could buy pre-shellaced ones from

(not in the uk, but without Rivendell's[1] $50 flat rate shipping charge)

Nah. After the responses here, I've written to Hubjub to ask how soon
"soon" is...
