two layers for extra cush

Handlebra is a new leather bar wrap. It’s made in the U.S. and it comes in a rainbow of colors. It looks good and is more affordable than some.

Ray, the man behind Handlebra, has some good information about wrapping and using leather bar tape on his product information page.

Ray’s just getting started and still working out the why’s and how’s of ecommerce but it’s worth taking a look at his website.

A search on the Serotta forum, where Ray hangs out, will yield some discussion on this brand-new item.
