Vittoria Randonneur tires wear out with a signature red strip. Once they kick-over and die, they expose their threads and are useless to ride on. Instead of just throwing these away, Dylan Bigby decided to re-appropriate them as belts. Using high-quality brass snaps and trimmed down Randos, he’s made a green product thats functionality equals its design.

He calls them Retired Belts and you can see tons of pictures over at his blog. Hand made in SF from tires ridden in SF. Legit!

Available at the Retired Belts shop for $25 plus shipping.
