I have those grips...and when I bought them I searched carefully on the package for material...they actually ARE leather...

Have you used cork? do you like these better?

[KnottedYet]

I haven't used cork, but I love these grips! Very comfy, somewhat plush feeling without losing any of the finesse you need to control the bike well. Don't need my gel gloves with these grips. In fact, the gel kind of gets in the way.

These grips on the Nitto All-Rounder bar are a marvelous combination.

Knott, Isn't the tape on my mixte cork? So you could compare the two right here

[KnottedYet]

Yeah, but that's cork TAPE, not cork GRIPS.

I get to ride my bike in a few days... whoo-hooo!

Wonder if that bike'd be a good candidate for a 650 conversion?

.... and she's getting painted. This photo does not do the color justice. It's lustrous, really glows. Chris Robinson (Hi Chris!) says that's because there's a layer of silver color underneath the red.

We picked the color to match the headbadge. I forgot to ask if they managed to save the headbadge?

I believe that shade is called 'Mariposa Red'

[sgtiger]

That color is just luscious!
