I picked up a couple of brooks saddles and thinking of getting leather bar tape.
Brooks leather handlebar tape review.
Nashbar has black for only 35 brooks tape is around 57 velo orange tape is around 82 and handlebra is the most expensive.
Their expensive classy and shiny finish definitely adds a lot of swag to the bike.
The leather has a varnished finish hence vinyl like feel.
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.
The cheap nashbar tape gets good reviews.
Brooks have recently changed supplier for the leather bar tape to an italian one.
The tape is perforated to provide some texture and.
Leather has to be one of the most attractive types of handlebar tape materials found in the market.
They also serve as great protection for the handlebars as well and thanks to their long term durability they are changed out less.
I have a chance to make my christmas wish list.
Is the handlebra tape worth the extra money.
