Bicycle Frame Handle - "Little Lifter"

Color: Honey
Honey
Dark Brown
Black
Size: Regular

Our "Little Lifter" Frame Handle offers a solution to a common bicycle commuting problem: it makes lifting and maneuvering your bike easier. Everyday obstacles like stairs, curbs, garage hooks, trolleys and trains can make carrying your bike challenging.

Like attaching a briefcase handle to your bike, the Frame Handle lowers the bike's center of gravity and takes advantage of your most commonly-used muscle groups to make lifting feel easier, lighter, and more in control. 

Originally launched on Kickstarter and featured in the Museum of Modern Art’s (MoMA) Design Store, the Frame Handle is easy to install, weatherproofed, sustainably handcrafted from American leather, and available in colors to match your leather saddles. It comes in sizes Regular and Large for different size frame tubes (see Size info below).

Useful for Larry vs Harry Bullitt

Purchased this for the Larry vs Harry eBullitt (based on recs from two people who work at Splendid Cycles) and I love it. It provides good leverage for repositioning the bulky bike without putting continuous strain on the saddle. Also, looks very pretty.

Gorgeous and so useful!

I love this handle. I paired it with the city grips in the same color, and they look amazing together. It's also much easier to get my bike up my front steps now. The construction is really smart, and it looks like it will be easy on the frame paint. Couldn't be happier!

Great addition to my bike

This simple little handle has made my daily commute so much easier. It’s made it a breeze to lift my bike onto the train and up the stairs to my house. Love it.
