A stack of leather washers tensioned with three spokes between two handlebar binding rings |
These are Brooks Plump Leather grips, made from stacks of leather washers cut from scraps from fabricating saddles. I embrocated these with some Obenauf LP, tensioned them to what seemed like a reasonable adjustment although I admittedly lack previous experience in tensioning stacks of leather scrap washers with spokes to use as handgrips, and mounted them on the new-to-me bars.

The bars are getting rotated into different positions until I find just the right one. This ain't it. |
Sweet. Can't wait to hear more on the bar's comfort. I'm in the market for different bars for my Peugeot.
ReplyDeleteLooks cozy.
ReplyDeleteIs there some kind of cylinder between the leather washers and the bars?
And as always, nice to see photos of our Trek950 family...
Nope, just a stack of leather washers connected with three spokes.
DeleteVery cool looking.....
