Hey everyone, I recently made a set of chainmail grips for my wife's bike and posted pics on the RRB Facebook page.They generated quite a buzz, and a few people messaged me about buying a pair.
The cost of materials is a bit high, so I cant make them unless I get at least 5 sets requested. Currently unavailable; Post for handmade tassels down below.

MEDIEVAL ME IN... SANS TASSLES. HOW WELL DO THEY GRIP THE BARS WITHOUT TWISTING?
Theyre woven around a set of grips. You cant really force them over grips once it's all woven. Learned that the hard way. Guess I should've pointed that out.
 
Money sent for my set!!!
This are gonna be awesome!
 
Ok, people. For the time being, grips are off the market. The set I'm in the middle of will be finished soon and that'll be it for a long while. I seriously underestimated how much time goes into these and it's not fair for the customers to wait so long for what they paid for. In the future, I'll make them in small batches and put them on once completed.
Also, I'm looking into making just tassels. If this is something yall like the idea of let me know. Don't want to put time and money into a project nobody is interested in. Thanks everyone!
 
After playing around with this idea, I have 2 pairs of tassels ready to go.

These are about 8" long, with 3 strands per grip. Push the anchor into the grip, screw in the tassel, and Bam! Your bike is now 20% cooler.
These are $15 per pair, I can customize them as well. Longer, shorter, more strands, and I'm looking into little skulls and stuff for the ends. Please pm me if interested
 
I made a "Deluxe" pair of tassels yesterday. These are 16" long, twice the length of the regular ones, and have an extra strand of chain per tassel. Pictured on my stretched Worksman "Leg Day" and next to a regular pair for comparison. Price on Deluxe is $35 per pair, regular are $15. Thanks!

I think these are awesome.. If you're still making these in a month or so, once I've settled into a new shop and get my budget back in order, I definitely want a set.
