Rack and Panniers for under 0.00

Click to view other photos

Notes:

For a while I have been looking for some inexpensive racks that were sleek and understated. The ones that I have come up with though have all been for around 0.00. So, I decided to go a differnt route and purchased a wald rack form my LBS for and some change. As soon as I got it home though I decided to introduce it to my beloved dremel. These are the results.

The pannier bags are a set of Willie and Max bags that are made for motorcycles. They retail for about 0.00 (I have seen online) but I was lucky enough to score mine for .00 locally. I wish they were a bit smaller and lighter but they work. I have a few creative ideas on how to better mount the bags to the rack but for now they are mounted with a set of spring lock hooks.

Captivating

Submitted by abstrait on 10/21/2008.

Captivating ride that draws me in to click on it every time it pops up. One of those beast's that's fun to stare at, just admiring all. Nice job, enough so to make me want to make something similar, albeit a much larger frame, unfortunately. That small size adds to the beauty.

This is by far the most beauteous assembled bicycle I have ever seen.
Would you possible be so kind as to swank with the brand names of your hardware.

Wicked messenger.

Where do people get the inspiration for these beautiful creatures. Agree with previous note, this bike could take you anywhere.... wouldn't look out of place on Oscars Night!

Inspirational source...

Submitted by BLUEMEANIE on 11/25/2008.

Classic "English racers" or path racers ... vintage Raleighs, BSA, Humber, FH Grubb, Sunbeam, etc... specifically lightweight stuff from the 30's and 40's. In the late 40's and thru the 50's you get the more modern but still sexy Clubmans, Lentons, Beestons, etc.

Flickr is a good place to start, there are a few collectors on there who also happen to be sharp photogs as well.
