Finished The CB360 Now It's Sold

Well here are the last pictures of the CB360. The thing screams now and is a blast to ride. As with all my bikes I build, I've already sold it so somebody else can now have the joy of riding a kick ass vintage and allow me to build another.

XR600 Street Tracker Update

Since I sold the street tracker, the new owner's been busy. He stripped the bike down, got stuff powdercoated black, added the fork gators, added a euro baja light. Fortunately he kept the tank and my seat work original. Hoping he will send me some more pics, but here's a preview.

More Toe Straps Done

Got a bunch of straps done. Tried to sell them at the Boise Bike Swap. Lot's of lookers but just not the right crowd.

More Double Straps Done

Had a couple orders for straps. I've kind of stayed away from light dyes in most of my leatherwork but a customer wanted yellow so I bit the bullet and did it. Turned out pretty nice. Hopefully what he wants. If not, no big deal, can just make him a new pair. Will have a booth at the Boise Bike Swap this year. Planning on selling double and single straps as well as top tube/down tube covers as well as a few other odds and ends.

Anyone want a pair, their $40 a set. If you have any unique ideas for a design in leather, I'm always experimenting, so let me know and I'll try and make it.

Fixed is Chopped Right?

I've been enjoying building and riding fixed gear bikes for about 5 years now. My bikes have gone through a lot of changes. It never fails, as soon as you change one thing, you discover that you would actually want it a different way. Well, I think I finally got over that problem and my bike now sits just how I like it. Here are the specs:

Univega Nuvo Sport, Infinity 700x32 Armadillos on Weinmann hoops laced to high flange velocity hubs, MKS GR9 pedals, Origin 8 cages, homemade double toe straps, Bulletproof cranks running a 44/16, homemade top tube cover, cut down mountain bike bars on a Ritchey stem with Origin 8 grips and a Dirt Harry brake lever, sitting on an old Brooks B17 Saddle.
