Ray's the man for stepping up and help getting this thing (Paceline) off the ground alongside the selfless/hard working mods :beer:

My bike sadly sits in pieces as I await for parts to arrive for project "refresh" 2012. I purchased some Handlebra from Ray last year and love it/won't be going back (and will post a picture soon, along with some sweet New wheels from Eric (Ergott)...So show us your.....Handlebra (No beads necessary) :rolleyes:

Can't have a thread about this beautiful stuff without a link to the site, so here's a link to the Handlebra site. (http://handlebra.com/)

Sadly, though my Brooks pro screams for matching bar tape, the Handlebra tape's something I'll have to put on my Christmas list. I'd also love to see someone do a Harlequin wrap.

Not to throw this thread off, keep them pix coming, but is the white Bra holding up well colorwise? I'm thinking of getting some for my MX-Leader.

Not as well as the other colors I have used (as Ray warned). Its yellowing a little where I ride the most and there is one edge where the color has just come off. This after about 500mi use and regular cleaning with 303. The leather doesn't seem as robust as the others. But if you really want white, what are you going to do? Use plastic?

It holds up great. I clean it with 303 Aerospace Protectant (as recommended by Ray). Besides, you need some patina with a Meckx.

My experience also. I had two seasons and thousands of miles on my white 'Bra. I removed it when I sold the bike it was on and it's now waiting for a new bike. I inspected the used wrap today and there's a very minor color difference between where my hands rested on the bars and the parts that were protected. I too cleaned/treated mine with 303.

A shot of my bike w/ HandleBra when relatively new. Its great stuff. Both the bars and saddle are darkening nicely over time.
