I just ordered some bags I can convert into rear saddlebags. Should look pretty cool.

Found the bags on ebay. They weren't that expensive. I was surprised how many styles there were. Maybe I can rig them so I don't have to cut the straps. Kind of too nice to chop up.

Plus when you arrive on scene to an emergency,you can grab your bag,throw it over your shoulder and have what you need to help.

Here are some part possibilities. I had an vintage set of pedals and rear carrier, but they may have gotten tossed when I cleaned out the basement. It never fails, pitch it - need it later. The search continues.

Here's a recruiting poster:

What's your cat's name? This is cat #3 or #4 in the build-off. Mine is Penelope, so far she hasn't done much.

Nice group of parts you have, and a cool original idea for a theme. This will be fun to watch.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

My fenders arrived today. I am very excited. What sold me on them is the great layered paint. Cool colors someone painted with a brush years ago!
But I came across my first snag. The front fender is too wide for the fork I have. I'm not going to buy a new fork.

So I'm either going to cut the front fender or use another rusty one I have hanging from the basement rafters. This bike is going to look like it has been through several wars so I may use the rusted one.

Here are the fenders and a little gem I picked up for my build.

That reminds me, I need to check to make sure my tires will fit the fork first. Ha Ha
