i like the fat franks so much i decided to get another pair in brown. if the color is close to what it shows it will match my seat and grips perfectly and i am going to put the creme color fat franks on my motorized electric mountain bicycle. here is what the tires look like. i enjoy being different

I got my fat franks for my electric motorized bicycle last night and i am liking it. next i am making a leather bag for the battery to match
The bike looks sweet with those tire and matching grips & seat.
Looks like you could ride it for hundreds of mile in comfort.

i rode the electric bicycle this morning and put the brown tires to use. over 20 miles and i like them alot. plus they don't get dirty as fast as the creme ones did. i am really happy with the purchase. schwalbe makes one heck of a tire. any bigger and they would be to big for the bike lol
i am going to be making a nice leather bag for the back of my bike to hold the battery and some tools. possibly saddle bags also. i plan to hand carve them and use a good thick leather. really excited about it. i won an auction of tools on ebay last night. this hand carved bicycle seat is what made me decide to start carving again. i had sold all my tools before moving here and time to start again. below is a the kit i won on ebay

That's a lot of tools Paul. Are you going to post step by step pics of your saddle bags? I'd be interested on seeing how it made.

yes i plan on it. i am heading to the states today to see my dad who is in advance stages of dementia and will pick up some nice leather while i am their. i hope to start working on the projects within the next 30 days. i plan on posting each step of the way from carving to the finished product. i did win a nice collection of tools and stuff. darn near as much as i had before i moved here. still a few odds and ends i need to get but looks like i will pretty much have everything i need
Made a key chain for shop in Jr. high....I got a C for it lol. And I still have it! With a bunch of keys to locks that i don't have anymore but for some reason I cant get rid of them either.

i have made everything from key chains to western saddles for Meredith Manor Equestrian College in WV. leather carving is one of the few things i was good at. i am really looking forward to getting back into it. lots of goodies i can make for my motorized bicycles
this morning I ordered a new front hub that is disk brake ready and also some avid disk brakes for the front of my electric motorized bicycle. I am going to run pads on the rear wheel and disk on the front. (rear doesn't have disk mounts). hopefully they ship them here. it is getting frustrating when I find a good price on an item on ebay and I pay for it and a few days later I get a refund saying they don't ship here.
I think I have seen a disc brake adapter that mounts onto the hub motor axle somewhere. If you wanted to run a rear disc brake. Cant remember right off where I saw it.
ya I have looked at them and don't think I would trust them. the shocks I bought for the front of the bike has the mounts for the disk brakes. I think between the regan breaking and pads on the rear and disk on the front I should be good
