    Does anyone know ?

    Thank You.

    Why don't you check this out? Not as expensive as brooks, pure cow leather though.

    I
    s the BioCork much more comfortable than the Plastic Black/Grey one ?
    I think its more aesthetics, looks Vs a comfort criteria .

    I dont have a firm grip, more laying my hands on the bars,
    till I need to grab the brake lever..

    Biokork is made of 40% cork and vegetable oil vs black rubber made the conventional way.
    2012 Brompton H6L raw lacquer, hub dynamo lights, eazy wheels, C bag. Spotted an incredibly small folded bike by chance in a bike store photo and had to find out what that bike was...a week later of obsessed daily research, I had my own Brompton!

    But I have a lower total "cost" by at least using a renewable resource somewhere in the process.

    (Note another thread by someone showing it done)

    though if you go with the lower cost, black and grey grip,
    they are offered manufactured with shorter grip.

    You want the double grip shift version..
    I think there is a biocork for grip shift, shorter that fits the brompton, at least they have it in cap problem

    Only the bio-cork GP1 , no bar end, is made in short and long out of the box..

    the regular length, GP is all they package with the #3 and 5 bar end.
