Adjustable Bottle Handle

I can't believe I put off getting this for so long (10+ years?). I thought I wouldn't have room for it on my frame, and it might just not work for me. I've only used it once but 10 years on, I'm older and it makes carrying my bike up the stairs to my apartment so much easier as a short older person. I'm not certain about using it to go down stairs yet. I may still "portage" to go down stairs. If you have any advice on going down stairs, I'd love to hear it.

I bike to work and had to carry my bike up the stairs and two floors everyday. I thought this would help me, and for fun I purchased this as it looked nice and I used their other products before and liked them very much (handlebar wraps). I didn’t install immediately worrying that it might scratch the frame. A few weeks ago I finally installed it on my Battaglin old steel frame. It not only looked amazing (coffee color), but carrying the bike is extremely easy on stairs now. I showed my wife how I lift the bike now with the leather handle. Her immediate reaction was,
“This is what happens if a cyclist designs a product”
Very nice, and I recommend it!

I love my little lifter. I live in a three story walk up and it really helps me schlep my bike up the stairs. My girlfriend liked the handle too so I had to get one for her bike as well.
