New Additions to the IRO

Today I followed through making a pair of leather grips for the handle bars of my IRO bike. I needed a new pair after deciding to switch out my handle bars to make room for a basket. Pretty much they are two rectangles with holes punched along the two long sides and sewn together onto the bar. I used waxed linen thread. I couldn't find the actual natural tan color at the store like I wanted but the black does well for now. We will see how they hold up!
