ANNAPOLIS, Md. (BRAIN) — Velo Orange, an online retailer and wholesaler, is now carrying the French-made Rustines line of rubber products. The complete line includes Rustines' vintage-style traditional patch kits in a variety of sizes; brake hoods for Campagnolo and Mafac levers in gum, white, and black; Constructeur–style rubber City Bike Grips; and rubber bar-end plugs in a variety of colors.
"These hard to find items fill a niche in the market, and allow those wishing to restore and refurbish vintage bikes, as well as those looking for a traditional look for their city bikes, an alternative to trying to locate original vintage replacements, which can be expensive and may have dried out and become fragile," the company said.
Rustines has been making rubber goods for the cycling industry in France for over 100 years; its founder Louis Rustin is credited with developing the modern patch kit.
