Ciclo Di Cuoio | Leather Bar Wrap
The San Diego Custom Bicycle Show is just around the corner,
We decided this year to bring an awesome vintage Cinelli Tandem.
First step in getting it prepared was applying a fresh set of
"Ciclo Di Cuoio" vintage style leather handlebar wrap in black.
How the bar stitching starts off.
We pre-soak the wrap in warm water to make it pliable.
Right side of the Stokers bar almost done.
Here's what the Captains bars look like when finished.
We let the Captains bars have a day to dry out before the leatherwrap received a trimming, last step we applied the metal end-caps.
We'll post more photos of the Tandem as we continue the work.

This Final Step Involves You!
A bicycle is a machine, and like all machines, there is a
"break-in" period. You *MUST* bring your bike back to the shop
for a post Tune-Up, check-up.
It's free! And it's the right thing to do.
We point-check, re-torque and re-adjust all parts for what's needed after
the first 100 / 200 miles of riding, or 60 days, whichever comes last.
Failure to do so can void your warranty!
