"Rhode Gear Handlebar Hide. Real leather that you had to stitch on."

I had this on my bike and replaced it years ago for cork tape with more cushion. I was stupid enough to toss it back then and sure wish I had it back now.

I also have and use some flickstands, a water bottle, and a frame fit pump. The bottle has a plastic clamp that goes around the tube and a tapered slot to slide their bottle that has the inverse tapered piece. Nice non-marring set up for bottle boss deprived vintage frames.

What ever happened to Rhode Gear - anyone know the story?
