Isn't there an 'app' for those things by now? Hahahahaha [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
There probably is if you have service where you get stranded.

Picked up a Campanelclax (bell or horn) at a flea market today. Sounds like s Klaxon horn, appears to be from Italy?

The front axle wings were original found on some 1959 Fords at rear fenders. There were 4 on each side.

I really like the simple, but elegant look of this build. Nice touches on the add-ons as well! As far as pedals go, I found these on the jbimporters.com site. There should be an LBS that carries their products near you. Classy, yet vintage..
 

A short sequence on bike's noise and lighting features. The Campanelclax bell is louder in person. Also changed out the pedals.

Lights turned out great! Like the tank horn as well. What is the "duck call"(?) buzzer on the left handlebar? I've never seen anything like that before! Not only will they see you coming, they will hear you too!

Hey thanks. The "buzzer" is a Campanelclax 30's model from Italy I think. It's actual sound is louder than the video delivers.

I decided to use Velcro to attach the survival kit. The exception being that I used Scotch Extreme Fasteners brand.

I cut the pieces to length and attached to the stem and then applied the kit.

Let me know how the Extreme Fasteners holds up. Not sure on the vibration factor....My wife would be curious, she was in logistics for 3M for 34 yrs and that was one of her products...

The spec sheet says it will hold 10 pounds. It seems to be pretty solid. I hauled the bike around today to several locations for photos, yah trailer king. If the adhesive holds it should be good. Looks like your wife did good.
 
Love the video!
Your bike is a lot like me. Old and making a new noise every day. :p
