I bought this bike with blue tires. I don’t know if that would have been my choice, but I like them.

Happy birthday Mark! Hope it was the best ever!

Happy Friday! '38 Roadmaster.

Good looking bike! Here is my wife's bike. Thought you may like like to look at it.

Thank you! I used two layers, one over just the seat area, and another going to the edges of the pan. I made fabric washers to level first, although I found that leather, skived to shape, worked better. Fabric tacky glue holds it in place. I used barge cement on the edge of the leather to secure...

I bought this project bike from a fellow caber. '38 Roadmaster. Looking forward to getting it on the road.

PM sent.

Thank you!

My first attempt at saddle covering. I have done leather work for many years, but not bicycle seats. I had some 5-6 ounce veg tanned cowhide, a new unwanted blanket, and a couple ugly saddles.

Some cool ladies bikes, and ladies today! Always a good time at the Orange ride!

I don't have one, but my wife does.

Pirate.

Cool, sunny day today, perfect for a ride on Old Hwy 58. The '79 Suburban is a fun ride for the road.

The recent rain has made the desert a very enjoyable ride. Today was through the desert, across Old Highway 58, and down the flood control levee to the Mojave River. My'49 DX is getting a lot of use!

Good Tuesday!

My favorite time of year in the desert. Riding my latest project '49 Schwinn. Hope you all have a good ride today!

Another beautiful day in Big Bear on my '49 DX.

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Friday! '49 DX

I picked up this '49 DX, with incorrect parts and cruiser paint job. The price was right, and close to home.This will be a klunker project.

My '88 Schwinn Project kom 10 is a fun ride!

Beautiful day in Big Bear! A lot of fun on the '88 Schwinn Project Kom 20.

Thank you! I first learned from an 8th grade substitute art teacher. A few years ago! A good lifetime hobby.

Absolutely ! Go for it. I have enjoyed leather work many years. Here is some of my work. Hand tooled veg tan.

May I suggest Peccards antique leather conditioner. They make a regular, and one for antique leathers. I believe it's available on amazon. Clean with liquid glycerin saddle soap first. Don't use water! It will make things worse. I have brought back McClellan Cavalry saddles with it.

Spent most of the day cleaning this Schwinn Project KOM. I pulled it out of a shed yesterday. Made at Greenville Mississippi plant in April of 1988, using Japanese Tange tubing. This was Schwinns top of the line mountain bike, in team issue colors. The rear gearing was changed to 7 speed with...

I like seeing these Colsons today !

That would be me.

The Orange ride is always fun. Having lunch at Wahoos, and shooting the breeze nice people, is a perfect end to the ride.

1940 Shelby.

That is the coolest thing I've seen done with a speedster!

Beautiful scenery and beautiful green bike to match! Green Panther is one of my favorites, I have yet to obtain. I enjoy the bikes and scenery that you post!

I had a great time! So many cool bikes and cabers! Scored a few items, including a tank for my Shelby. Thanks to all that worked so hard to make this a great event!

You are truly a blessed man!

My favorite ride! SA river to Sunset. My favorite ride! SA River to Sunset! I envy you guys that get to do it daily!

Out for a morning ride on the Shelby Pirate, before the heat sets in.

I got hooked on leather work from an 8th grade substitute art teacher. Been doing it ever since. My most recent work has been for Gunfight reenactors and quick draw competition. Too much Roy Roger's as a kid I guess. Been thinking about some bike related projects.

2013 Marin Pioneer Trail.

Yesterday's ride at the beach. Shelbys on a cool foggy day.

Another fun ride!

Happy fourth!

Here is my Pirate badged Shelby.

1950 Huffman Firestone Pilot. My wife's bike that she thought too ugly to ride. I found the original Dayton fenders, identical to the fenders that were on it, but better condition. Did my best to match the rest of the bike to the fenders.

Took the '40 Shelby for it's first ride around the neighborhood.

The badge cleaned up pretty well. It is still ugly but rideable.

Riding our Colson and Shelby today. Good start to summer at the beach!

Thank you, no problem posting it to the Shelby thread. I appreciate your information!

The beginning of a project. I just picked this up. The first photo is from the offer up ad. Pirate badged Shelby. I guess it's a 1940, maybe Shelby aficionados will know better.

A really fun ride! Looking forward to the next one!

Riding along the Mojave River with my wife. Water still in the river, and a little snow left on the peaks. Beautiful day for a ride!
