more handmade functional leather details..

Yeah!, it was to many holes from old mounts to fill out with welds so i made some circles with sandpaper all over the fenders a couple of times :)

Then two layers of clearcoat to protect from rust.

Fender work is done, Rock solid!
I got so tired down there so will do the micro adjustments tomorrow :)

Joined @voxelwise to our workshop tonight and did some work on the fenders.

Stripped down some old cavo plastic fender for the brackets and braces.

Pretty hard to weld nice in those thin steel fenders but when they sit perfectly i will put some time on the aesthetic :).

Thanks man!, more funny solutions to come :)

Did some rough work on the fenders today.
I need to buy some 4mm round iron, nice bolts and nuts to fit them perfect.

sad or not, it is hundreds and hundreds of those frames out there but yeah this one was nice and no dents..

the bags are just for tools and a 15 meter under sea waterproof camera, and yeah some SNUS :)

Some updates..

Bought some 80's citybike fenders from my lbs for 4£, will build new struts and brackets, so they get a perfect fit.

And then I bought some TT clipons at the local racebikeshop on 70% sale, i have some problem with positions when i ride more than 100k a day so it will be a nice option for longer adventures.

I will make the elbow bowls a bit smaller and cover them in the same leather as the saddle bag.

My friend who runs the local bmx shop in stockholm is pretty rad at DIY leather work.
I had a day off and jumped in and did all the mechanic work in his shop and he made me the saddle bag for tools and extra tubes :)

Before the adventure Tallin -> Gdansk 10 july we will make a bag somewhere under the bar, a front fender extender and och chainstay protector in the same brown leather.

a old shimano brake will do the work maybe with a little grinding, they are alot smaller than the new ones..
