Finished up another bag today. Brown dyed leather with oak side panels in colonial American stain and clear coat.

I made another bike bag this week using dark walnut side panels clear coated.

I decided to refurbish my first tool bag I made for my ruff cycle build. Changed the stitching and added some glass reflectors. Treated and polished the leather. Too much time on my hands. Lol

I was bored so I decided to kill a few days and make another bag. Tried something new. Used ash wood for the side panels and decorated them with a couple of .357 cal. shell casings.

Made another bag for a friend of mine.

My glass reflectors on my Moulton

1965 Moulton. First test ride with new crankset and 5 speed sturmey archer hub and new chain, sealed BB

Recently acquired and refurbished this 65 Moulton 4 speed. Powder coated cream, new tires,handlebars and stem, hand stitched leather grips. Cool little bike and rides nice!

The first set I made were more of a prototype and I wasn’t totally satisfied with them. I made a few minor mistakes when cutting the steel .They worked fine but as usual I started thinking about how I could improve them. Plate steel is cheap and I got plenty of time on my hands so I figured why...

Decided to make an improved version of rear dropouts.

Lowered the bars 3 cm as well and lowered the seat

So I wanted to stretch the frame out on my bike and bring the rear tire back 5 or 6 inches. The rear drop outs on this lucky frame are bolted on so I got some 1/4 inch plate steel and cut a pair of longer drop outs. the stays widen out so I thought maybe I would put on a 4 inch back tire. Got it...

Trying out some straighter bars

They are 65 mm rims...got them from ruff cycles as well as the tires

nows your chance to upgrade to a 3 speed hub..

Amazing! How did you get that high gloss shine?

Yeah ..I wasn’t looking to do anymore restorations either but they are rare to find where I live and the guy who had it wasn’t into bikes. The bike was in pretty good shape as it was so I figured I should give it some well deserved TLC, and now I’m glad I grabbed it.

Yes. I believe that’s true..mine was built in the original factory as far as I know..it wasn’t used much I dont think...I haven’t detected any issues with cracks in any part of the bike. It really is in remarkable condition for being 56 years old.

Finished for now..all clean, waxed and polished

So I tried fine steel wool, w40 and krud kutter. Got most of the rust off the frame and fenders. Gave it a good waxing. I’m satisfied for now with the results.
