I found black, hemp twine at a local craft store (Michael's). I found that the twine faded easily on another bike, so I "dyed" it with a black, permanent marker. The results have been great after many months of riding. Also, the black looked funky with amber shellac. Clear was much better.
I can't seem to post a link to my flickr account. I have pictures of the tape job/twine on my Riv QB.
