I have a chance to make my christmas wish list.
Brooks leather handlebar tape review.
Leather has to be one of the most attractive types of handlebar tape materials found in the market.
I picked up a couple of brooks saddles and thinking of getting leather bar tape.
Brooks leather bar tape caters perfectly for those seeking a classic l eroica feel or a bar tape that matches their faithful brooks saddle.
They also serve as great protection for the handlebars as well and thanks to their long term durability they are changed out less.
Brooks have recently changed supplier for the leather bar tape to an italian one.
Nashbar has black for only 35 brooks tape is around 57 velo orange tape is around 82 and handlebra is the most expensive.
Buy now from jenson usa 67 50.
Their expensive classy and shiny finish definitely adds a lot of swag to the bike.
Brooks leather bar tape has appeal beyond retro builds and classic bikes thanks to its longevity and good looks but it s not the comfiest bar tape around or the cheapest.
Is the handlebra tape worth the extra money.
The leather has a varnished finish hence vinyl like feel.
