The plan is to take this bike on our next visit to Türkiye and leave it at my father-in-law's beach house on the Aegean cost. It's a fun project I started back in 2010 and have just refinished with some new relaxed swept back handlebars and cute light blue leather. The saddle and bar tape are perforated with a pattern of the initials 'BB' for Busyman Bicycles or maybe bumble bee.
The 1 piece saddle bag is a new iteration of my classic 2-piece bag, simplified to be just one panel instead of two. The zip opening runs lengthwise along the underside and proves to be very functional. To access the bag contents simply unbuckle the retaining strap and unzip; no need to remove the bag from the saddle. On the back of the bag is a perforated version of the Turkish evil eye.
