            Elkhide, hand-stitched. It gets easier each time you do it.

These photos document my Carpetbagger project, a fixed-gear build fitted with S&S Couplers to be used as a travel bike. The general details of the build sheet are:

SOMA Rush frame, 56cm: stripped, coupled, then powdercoated in a color to match my sweet, sweet MINI.

S&S Couplers: break-away coupler set to allow the bike to be packed in an airline compliant case and avoid bike shipping fees; assembled by Tom at 4130

SOMA Sparrow bars

Odyssey finger lever

Shimano medium reach brake with Kool-Stops

Handmade wheels by 718c.com with Velocity Fusions and All-City hubs in bright polished silver.

Panaracer Pasela 700x23 tyres

Elkhide by Velo Orange, hand stitched

Custom bar end caps made from vintage typewriter keys.

Velo-Orange Stem and Seatpost

Brooks Swallow, Honey

Sugino 75 drivetrain: 72 inchgear
