A comfortable, stylish, and sturdy leather strap for portaging your bicycle, whether it's up the stairs or across a river.
Designed for cyclo-cross racers, this minimalist shoulder strap does the work, padding your shoulder against the awkward bike angle when lifting the bike to carry.
The leather strap wraps around the top bar and seat tube providing a comfortable suspension in between to be supported on your shoulder. The leather wrap on the top bar also gives the bike a nice and convenient handle close to the center of gravity and protects the bike's finish.
Comes in natural/unfinished, a light "honey"/cognac color, dark brown, or black. Please specify color in the "message to seller" box during checkout.
Hand-made and hand-finished leather comes with choice of white or black waxed thread, strong double-sided tape, and stitching instructions.
Fits road frames with 1 1/8" diameter tubing.
