Big bike, big plan, big project '24

Far from a palindrome.

The big ITI bike is in the workshop, getting some mods for the '24 ITI project. 

First up was a new ti fork with rack mounts and 3 bolt cage mounts f&r on the fork blade. 

I made this front rack for my 2016 Nome trip, but to suit a different fork. This new fork has rack mounts in a different location,  so ill mod the rack again to suit. 

I stitched these front micropanniers for Nome '16 as well, to suit this rack. Ill make a rack top bag to match the pannier ensemble. For 'stuff'.

A new downtube bag is also on the drawing board. 

A new kitchen bag will be hewn out of X-Pac fabric to go behind the seatpost.
 This rack area here, yes im making some enormous, cavernous slimline panniers. 

 
Big box of nice new carbon hoops.

Lots to make before February.
