[MENTION=29368]rootboy[/MENTION], thanks! I do like the way this one turned out. I realize this "home brew" is not for everyone. But what else can be done with old tubular tires?

I'm tinkering in my head and will attempt to make a handle bar model using the support arms from a vintage Cannondale bag (single piece of round steel that loops over the stem and bars). The one downside is that even after the tire is taken apart, it still wants to curl inwards to form the "tube." I bought a yard of "Duck Cloth" that I can make into a liner and the bottom. I'll make the sides from the old tubular tires. Not certain about the top just yet.

My wife says I need to sketch this all out on graph paper first. I find it kind of fun to just eyeball it and move ahead. The only piece I needed to re-due on the small bag was the strap for the seat post. It was not at the correct position so I took it off and found the "sweet spot" for a good fit.
