Cinelli Air and Carbo Tape
 
 
Air Ribbon
 
Cinelli Air and Carbo Ribbon Bar Tape
Cinelli Air and Carbo Ribbon is soft and tapered just like Cinelli Cork Ribbon. The metalized finish is bright and eye catching. Air and Carbo ribbon are more durable than Cork Ribbon and easier to keep clean. The Carbo tape has a realistic carbon weave finish with a raised surface that provides an solid grip. Air Ribbon sports a perforated surface which also affords an excellent grip. Air and Carbo Ribbon tape is washable, durable and exceptionally comfortable. Both models come with bar plugs. For maximum comfort we suggest wrapping Cinelli Cork tape over a Le Tour Bar Comfort Kit. Made in Italy.

Cinelli Cork Tech
Cinelli invented Cork Tape...

over 20 years ago. Since then he has refined the tape and added many new colors. Cinelli Cork Ribbon is the most popular bar covering in use today and for many good reasons.
Cinelli starts with 1 mm bits of genuine cork and disperses them throughout an E.V.A. enhanced, shock absorbing polymer compound. Each 31 mm strip of ribbon is 1.8 mm thick in the center and gently tapers to a feathered edge. A minimum of 15% natural cork content assures you of an excellent grip while the dense E.V.A compound readily absorbs numbing road shock. A 12 mm wide, 3 M designed adhesive strip with a peel off cover, easily bonds the cork ribbon to your bars.
Four strips of ribbon, two finishing tapes and a pair of chrome road bar plugs come in each package. Two of the strips are 4 inches (10 cm) long and designed to wrap around your brake lever clamps. The other two strips are 66 inches (168 cm) long and will cover the remainder of your handlebars. Detailed installation instructions with helpful illustrations are printed on the sides of every package. Visit Cinelli at http://www.cinelli.it/eng/index.php by clicking on the underlined text.

 
Cinelli Gel Cork Tape
 

Cinelli Cork Tape with Gel
Cinelli blended gel to their original polymer base and then sprinkled in a generous amount of genuine cork. This tape feels great and absorbs numbing road shock better than the original cork tape. The surface is a little smoother which provides a better grip and resists soiling. Overall thickness of the tape was increased from 1.8 mm to 2.5 mm. Edges are still tapered so the wrapping is clean and wrinkle free. The new gel/polymer blend is stronger and more tear resistant than the original blend. Cinelli Gel cork costs a little more but lasts longer and provides greater comfort. For maximum comfort we suggest wrapping Cinelli Cork tape over a Le Tour Bar Comfort Kit. Comes with two chrome plastic plugs. Made in Italy.

Branford Bike Online Catalog - Archival Edition
brought to you by the former owner of Branford Bike, Tim Brockett via his personal web site, TimsLife.Com
This is an archival edition of the Branford Bike web site from February 2006. Complete with product photos, prices, how to articles and technical specifications it is a treasure trove of accurate, detailed and historical information.

In July of 2006 Branford Bike was incinerated by a huge forest fire. No one was hurt but the inventory and buildings were completely destroyed. I witnessed the fire and stayed until the trees were burning in my driveway. At that point I hiked from Branford Bike, through the smoke and embers, down the mountain to my Jeep 3 miles away. I took photos and wrote about the harrowing experience so everyone could see what I saw. My insurance was generous and I later rebuilt my home and started another business selling books. Read the story here.

Branford Bike was a huge part of my life for over 30 years; June 1976 to July 2006. I enjoyed those years tremendously and Branford Bike was often a labor of love. I hope you enjoy browsing through the archival catalog. If your visit brings back pleasant memories please share them with me via e-mail at timbrockett@gmail.com .

If you find any printed Branford Bike catalogs, advertisments or flyers please scan them as a PDF and email. Or you may mail them via US Post to Tim Brockett, PO Box 1711, Emigrant, MT 59027. Eventually I will post them in a Memorabilia catalog section.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes,
Tim Brockett
