On the Rivet Cycle & Sport - leather wrapped bicycles
To disable ads, please log-in.
While in Cambridge for the Wild Goose Chase, DB, Kmerzad, and I stopped into On the Rivet Cycle and Sport to look for accelerade, but stayed to gawk at the bikes on display.
ONe of the workers/owner (?) enjoys leather work and makes leather fenders, bags, and wraps frames with them. He has been getting leather from farmed ostrich legs and tie dying it to wrap bikes.
Their pics are here:

I'd imagine that it won't be cheap - but it did sound/look like a lot of work.. and it'll be completely unique.

Those bikes are beautiful in their own right.
