I know, I know it’s pathetic. Brown or tan grips and saddles. Anybody know some that match well? It’s pimp my ride time at the Funk house again. What’s wrong with me.

Brown?
Fake leather, PLASTIC brown?

Good Lord man, have some self respect.

The only things that should be brown and plastic are fake dog turds and Flashy's shoes.

Bike is a Stooge Speedball in moby grape colour. Tan type colour will suit it although I’m now tempted by the bike hols2 has posted.

Do it, I got a brown saddle from superstar for a fiver for the pub bike, it matches the stripe of brown on the bars (a fluke) and looks ace.
It’s a very comfy saddle as well.

brooks do grips, whether they colour match the saddles or not.

Is suspect you'll need to do lots of speculative shopping for find a well stocked bike shop. I wouldn't necessarily trust that buying from the same brand will produce a good result, unless they actually make their own stuff.

Do Charge/Fabric make grips?

Just buy some white grips, they'll be an exact match in the not-too-distant future.

Brooks leather saddle and Brooks leather grips?

Might be awful or nice, depending on the bike.

Or wooden grips/saddle?

Although, if you're into matching, it could get away from you:

My thoughts exactly Dez. Don’t worry tan walls will probably be on the cards too. It’s a purple retro machine. Anything else would be plain wrong.

Contact points should be like football boots, IMO.

Black. Else they look shitter and shitterer as they wear/get dirty/fade. Especially if they’re brown to start with...
