Personal expression. We do it through the clothes we wear, the style of our hair, the trinkets on our desk. In just about every part of our lives we are expressing who we are. Now, for about 40 bucks, you can show a little more personal expression through the bicycle you ride – just as long as it is a ‘clean’ expression.
Lizard Skins of Orem, Utah has an online program for ordering custom mountain bike grip lock-on rings that can be mixed and matched with different color grips and even different color rings. Not only can you select from 10 different grip styles and 9 lock-on ring colors, but you can also have custom text laser etched on each of the rings. The text is limited to 14 characters and it must be ‘clean’ for Lizard Skins to produce your design – they are located in Utah after all.
Once you go to the Lizard Skins online store, you can see that the combination are into the thousands. You can select from:
- 10 Grip Styles with at least 2 colors per style
– 9 Lock-on Ring Colors (each order is allowed a selection of 2 different colors)
– 13 different font options for your custom text
– 9 different clipart graphics can be added to your text
– 9 different color options can be selected from for the optional end caps
The turn around time for Lizard Skins to produce your custom etched grip rings is approximately one business day. The grips themselves are made in America while the grip rings are imported. This style of grip can only be used on mountain bike or ‘straight bars’, they will not work on road or ‘drop bars’.
Not a cyclist, but have one in your life? Some custom grips from Lizard Skins might just be the unique gift you are looking to get them this holiday season!
