BUCKERS Posted April 28, 2022 Share I didn't realise it will be so difficult, or that I am looking at the wrong places. Looking for vintage looking leather / pleather grips and even saddles. I am based in Cape Town; short of getting it off bikeinn which will hit me with taxes and handling charges, does anyone know where one can find some locally? Budget project, not fussy about branding, nothing too fancy. Thank you!! DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted April 28, 2022 Share I understand that Woodheads (Leather work in CT) do a day a week where they are open to the public to request one off designed and manufactured leather goods. This looks like something they can whip out chop chop https://www.woodheads.co.za/ BUCKERS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted May 11, 2022 Share Lol, imagine those grips when wet. Like holding on to a wet fish on a fishing boat in False Bay during a strong South Easter... Hairy and MTBRIDER1234 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
