How do you find the grips?  I've nearly worn through another set of Ergon GR5s and wondered about the biocork versions, perhaps with shorter bar ends.

Hello geo, good to hear from you. Still in Lancaster area? Yes, the grips are biocork. GP3 or something. I prefer them to the Gp5, which I found too bulky. If you want the part numbers or whatever I can look that up if you wish.

I find they give plenty of alternative positions, I clean them with a wet wipe or similar periodically.

Geo - looked up the bar grips/ bar ends.  They are Ergon GP3, I like them.

Thanks Lewis, they look a good compromise. I like bar ends but the gr5 are a bit clunky and heavy. I also don't find the shape v comfortable. Great looking bike.
