Designed to give your bike a customized appearance, the Wooden Bicycle Grips created by Trevor Carter of Etsy store Broken Board are great for those who want to add a vintage appeal to their bikes.
The handles are made using hardwoods such as Cherry Wood, Cedar Heartwood and Walnut, giving you a sturdy grip that is both durable and refined. The grips are coated with marine-grade polyurethane which gives them a shiny finish that makes them water-resistant yet not slippery at all. The clear coating allows the beautiful marble detailing of the wood that is unique to each piece to show through. These grips are made to fit standard seven or eight inch handlebars.
The Wooden Bicycle Grips add an element of style to your ride.
