Members alpine luddite Posted March 11, 2019 Members Report Posted March 11, 2019 Hi, I'm working on reproducing some vintage bicycle bags that use leather straps to attach to the handlebars. While I do sew some leather, I don't own the tools to make the straps. they are 5/8' x 8" with a riveted roller buckle. I need 12 straps. you can see my sewing work at www.alpineluddites.com thanks IMG_7105.HEIC Quote

Could be made with a utility knife. For holes, a scratch awl could work in a pinch. So you are wanting someone to make them for you? That's what I got out of your message, but it wasn't entirely clear to me. The roller buckles are easily sourced. The leather appears to be prefinished and was left rough on the back and edges, so not a lot of work there. Quote
