Subject: [CR]custom dyed cloth & leather update

Started experimenting with leather dyes - should be able to provide custom-colored toe straps in time for CduC, and looking into a source for leather strips to wrap handlebars, which will also be available in custom colors. Need to visit a supplier and buy a little bit of equipment first.

Steady progress on the custom-dyed cloth tape. Finished the 17th color tonight. Here's the selection so far:

#7 rose pink #8 mint green (old Bianchi blue celeste) #8m light turquoise #10 wine #10r wine red #10y wine orange #13 purple #29 royal blue #29r purple grape #29rm red grape #42/13-35/1 light olive #42/13-35/1y chartreuse (Legnano green) #35 black green #39 pearl (silver) grey #39b dark pearl blue #39g dark pearl green #39y olive drab

Next few colors include ecru, violet, tan, fuscia!, and light blue.

Still haven't been able to nail down special colors #666 dingy white or #000 Meral green. Further updates as dates move further up.
