Newbaum’s: Traditional cotton handlebar tape from the USA

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

This is the de facto best handlebar tape for retro bikes, or for anyone who wants to give their modern steel steed a timeless vintage feel. The tape is made entirely 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, classic finish, we recommend applying a coat of shellac.
