Newbaum’s: Traditional Cotton Handlebar Tape from the USA

Newbaum’s is an American niche company specializing in manufacturing handlebar tape using traditional methods. By using cotton fabric instead of synthetic materials, they offer a tape that is not only environmentally friendly but also provides that unique, textured feel often missing in modern tapes.

This is the de facto best tape for retro bikes, or for those who want to give their modern steel steed a timeless vintage vibe. The tape is entirely made in the USA and comes in a wide range of colors, making it easy to match or contrast with the rest of the bike. For an extra durable and classic finish, we recommend sealing it with a layer of shellac.
