Experience both luxury and performance on your handlebars with old-fashioned vegetable-tanned leather grips. Durable in the elements, warm to the touch, and grippier when wet, our natural leather is a performance material with a beautiful look.
Like our other easy to sew on products, the City Grips come as a kit that you stitch on yourself with pre-punched stitching holes, needle, thread, and instructions.
The natural oils in your hands burnish our high-quality American leather into a glossy patina that will last you a lifetime. You get to keep the patina you've earned: you can transfer it from bike to bike, and over the years it will only get more beautiful with use and time.
Fits standard flat handlebars with a 0.875" (7/8") diameter (approximately 22mm).

Such a wonderful product and matches very well with my brooks saddle. I purchased Honey with white thread and love the look of it. Definitely recommend these grips!
With apologies to the owners, this review is way, way overdue. Val and Geoff were responsive and patient with my questions. Two people that are obviously passionate in their craft. Even with personalization and Covid, the grips still arrived in 3 days from OR to NJ. The personalization came out just as I had imagined it. The honey shade was the perfect complement to the Brooks B17 saddle and the brown walled tires. Something about having to stitch the grips to the handlebar made my bike build even more personal. Friends were impressed and envious. Thank you very much!!! I wish you both continued success.
Incredible craftsmanship. Really upgraded my bike. Thanks!
These grips are the perfect look to finish off my classic 10 speed. They were easy to install, the YouTube instructions were nicely done and easy to follow.
Really love these. I get so many compliments and they are comfortable to ride with.
