That's actually what I have laying around the house. When a LBS went out of business I bought a couple rolls. I put one on my commuter hybrid when I did a
drop bar conversion, then shellacked it to match the honey brown Brooks saddle on that bike. I held off on putting it on the Black & Tan right away, though, because if I decide to do the brown or tan brake cable housings, I want to do those first, then tape over them.
