The Frera

The first post, the first bike, just need to say hello .

It's Columbus Aelle steel frame, size 49cm. It was in very bad condition. So, I re-chromed and re-painted frame set and added some part's from 80's. All parts were lightly polished, golden details filled in. Nitto racks don't comply with the requirements, so I drew in CAD something special for this bike. It's custom polished stainless steel made by small local company.

Lot of leather stitched by hand by myself. The most important: choose a color to match the paint on the bike. I decided to make classic beige leather that will be beautifully getting old. Handlebars cover with 1,5 mm vegetable-tanned leather and a little bit of cork for anti-vibration. Roll's with simple recover and transport bag.
