Would leather grips be appropriate? I'm thinking the end grain leather on these Brooks honey grips might match the cream color closely enough so as not to be noticeable. These can be found at

I think the Brooks grips would look great on the bike but man are they expensive! At this point, I'm looking for something a little more affordable. I did spot a set of tan Hunt-Wilde grips on ePay that might be appropriate, but would surely be cheap looking compared to the original style grips.
