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

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!

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..."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
