My wife bought me a beautiful, honey-colored handle by Walnut Studios in Portland, OR (http://walnutstudiolo.com/). It really was very well built and an almost perfect match to my honey Brooks. Unfortunately, on a Hillborne, you'd have to ditch one of the water bottle cages for it to work. There was no space between cages for a hand to grab the handle. Nicole, who works at Bike, Book and Hatchet had one on her Cheviot and it was a perfect fit. I'd highly recommend one if it fits your bike with room to grab it.
