I have a chance to make my christmas wish list.
Brooks leather handlebar tape review.
Buy now from jenson usa 67 50.
I picked up a couple of brooks saddles and thinking of getting leather bar tape.
Leather has to be one of the most attractive types of handlebar tape materials found in the market.
Is the handlebra tape worth the extra money.
Brooks leather bar tape has appeal beyond retro builds and classic bikes thanks to its longevity and good looks but it s not the comfiest bar tape around or the cheapest.
The leather has a varnished finish hence vinyl like feel.
Unfortunately the joins can sometimes show.
Brooks have recently changed supplier for the leather bar tape to an italian one.
The cheap nashbar tape gets good reviews.
They also serve as great protection for the handlebars as well and thanks to their long term durability they are changed out less.
Their expensive classy and shiny finish definitely adds a lot of swag to the bike.
