Retro Handlebar Bike Bag

I love this bag! Its a little girly but who cares. It would so fit my retro bike I have put together this summer. There are even some more great bike gadgets on ETSY.

The Handlebar Bag is made out of light tan leather and blue and white striped cotton fabric.
The attachable shoulder strap converts this bag into a purse when you’re not on your bike ( this information is more likely to be interesting for girls).

OR you just carry it like a clutch.

Leather, gets better with age so buy this bag and keep it for your children.

 I have seen this on ETSY, at the shop from Death and Texas. They have some more smart stuff. Check it out.

The bike porter basket by Copenhagen Parts

What if you have built a very cool bike, eg. Singlespeed or Fixie and you dont know where to put your bag, since you are tired of a swetty bag?
Copenhagen parts has the solution for you: The Bike Porter.
Its aestethic and as well practical. This looks even good on your retro Singlespeed bike. The basket is integrated into the handlebar.
Simple, clean design. I love it!

Bike Project- Sticker just arrived

The Logo for the front did not come out well though. Will have to get it done once more but the rest is great.

The bikes name is going to be BIROTA 1.0.

Birota is latin for bike, wheel, bicycle or cycle!
My brother is also working on a bike which is going to be named BIROTA 2.0!

What do you think, is the name oldschool enough?
I think it sounds good :)

Will provide pictures with the logo and the finished bike soon.

Bike Project 90% finished

Dear DIY friends as well as bike fans,
its done and my bike project just needs the final touch. The new stickers are missing but will be ordered whenever I have Photoshop again. Let me know what you think and leave some comments. I had a bike from the 50s or 60s in my head or even older and think I almost hit it.

Bike ingredients:
Old Bike from Ebay - 17€
Brooks Saddle in Brown from Ebay - 35€
Bar Tape in Brown from Fizik, Ebay - 4,50€
Green Paint, Duplicolor - 7 €
Silver vintage pedal - 5 €
and some hours getting the old paint off and repainting it!

I already postet the bike logo once but I am still in contact with my brother to touch up the design and letttering!

I was inspired by some great bikes I found on the web as seen below.
