    Hi if you look on images of beauty i stitched leather grips on my bars, there seemed to be alot of interest so id decide if any one wanted to have them done id do it for around 15-25 depending on length. it takes 1-2 hours per bar and the leather is expensive. if theres any intrest pm me. if you have a leather you want done thats fine i have a dark brown and a light baige i will keep repating until i get my desired results, (im a perfectionist lol)

    You should be able to get a bit more than that, it is a pain in the neck to do and the likes of Brooks bar tape is £32 (cheapest I could find shipped.) Which doesn't have the same look etc.

    Did you use leather or suede? i get the feeling suede would feel nicer in my hands...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 439 ✭✭Golfanatic


    i used suede on one of my bars but i regret it, it gets real dirty

    To clarify my post, the thing with these grips is that they look great but are an unholy pain to stitch on, (as he says 1-2 hours.) If Golfanatic is offering an attachment service with the leather I reckon he could ask for a bit more than 15-25. Not necessarily that much more but a bit!
