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).

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.
Is company is the best. Clearly passionate about what hey do and very dedicated to a good customer experience. Everything was done in a very personable way. Thank yo!
I just love my City Grips from Walnut Studiolo. They came quickly in adorable packaging, match my bike seat & look great on my ride!! Thanks so much Geoff & Valerie!
As the person who installed them, I'm gonna say FUCKING GREAT. The instructions were good, there was enough thread for when I ignored the instructions and had to start over. And from the person who I installed them for "they're the most beautiful and comfortable grips I've ever used." That said, maybe next time I'll try and put some Fizik gel underneath. For soft old man hands.
