Very nice touch. With your custom made leather panniers and the added color trim, the overall look of the Sam is quite distinctive. Jim Cloud Tucson, AZ On Mar 22, 5:45 pm, Benedikt wrote: > I was at the leather shop, picking up some grommets, a few weeks ago > and I came across some leather pa

The panniers are something of my own design. It started with that smaller bag under the seat and some scrap leather I had and then I couldn't stop myself. On Mar 22, 6:45 pm, Brett Lindenbach wrote: > Are those custom leather panniers, or modified horse panniers?  They look > crazy cool. -- Yo

Okay, I was expecting something gaudy but your pinstriping is very tasteful and understated--complements and ties together bikes and bags quite well. And tidily done, to boot! (my efforts at fine detail painting always end up looking like a dog's dinner at least to my perhaps over-self-critical e

I had a handicap with the tidiness. There is a little pinstripe type tool that carves lines in leather and lines up with the edge. When I built the bags I had carved two of these and I just painted the raised portion in between. You can see an example of those, pre-painting, on the top flap here
