Nice to see another Kiwi leather worker on here, New Zealand leather supplies in Auckland is very good to deal with , I buy all my vege tan leather from them - good quality and great prices as well. Cheers Don Albannach Crafts Oamaru New Zealand

Thanks a lot Constabulary for the updated link, it was just what I was looking for. It's nice to have the manual for my singer 133k10 now as in the near future I want to learn how to use it.

Hi Everyone Thanks for the kind comments and yes the gusset was a bit of a nightmare to figure out but in the end it came together very well. This bicycle is a replica that was built in Denmark in the 1970s and I am lucky enough to have a long term lend of it for cycling to work everyday . It's the most comfortable bicycle I have ever ridden !

Hi Constabulary I was trying to open the link you provided with the down load as I have a Singer 133K10 and was wanting a copy of the user manual , but it appears the link is not working now. Do you still have it available ? Cheers Don

While reading a history book on the Dursley Pedesen bicycle company , I found a very small black and white image taken from their 1903 catalog showing their bicycle luggage so I decided to reproduce it, the gusset was a challenge as every side is a different length and width with a taper to suit the unique style of frame of this bicycle that was first produced in the early 1890s. It is hand stitched from 3 mm vege tan hand dyed antique brown cowhide with beige linen thread. To finish it off I used historic oval style brass buckles.
