Wallingford Bicycle sells leather Brooks grips:

There are some very nice looking grips in (and look at the saddle bag :D ):

I knew about the Brooks, but I just don't think I can put that much into hand grips. LOVE the second ones and LOOK, that is also my Nantucket basket...and my castle in the background! :D

Here are a couple more places you can get them. Exact same ones that were on my Bianchi. A perfect match for the honey Brooks.

The cork ones Rivendell sells really are very pretty when they've been shellacked or varnished or whatever it is.

Very classic looking, and very comfortable/warm to the touch. I saw one at Rivendell with albatross bars and the cork grips. They offered to let me ride it, but I was afraid to...

I have a black Brooks saddle on my road bike.

I'd love to put a honey colored Brooks with brown grips on my new mixte, WHENEVER it gets here (for something different).

Someone on the "show us your mixte thread had a red bike with brown saddle and grips. Do you think brown would look bad on this bike (with different handlebars) considering it has the small touches of black on it?
