Portland, Maine




A sweet package... Mercian equipped with cork grips, tiny brass bell, slick fenders, leather saddlebag, and Brooks saddle.

Loved the simple bike rack (poles) all around the city.

  2. I'd heard of cork handlebars but hadn't seen any good examples. i like these.
    I've been making bent-laminated wood bars lately, and wrapped leather around one pair for a softer, and more textured feel... for a sort of cork-like effect.
