Boots
December 21, 2011
Its been a little over a year since I started to ride this set up.
I haven`t changed a thing (although I do eventually want to change out the seat post). It still rides like it should and (as you can see) has all the leather parts worn in nicely. I am a firm believer in using whatever it is you own and the more you use, it inevitably becomes an extension of you. A friend recently told me that a grandparent of theirs had owned and still wore the same pair of leather boots for over 40 years, and this was a common way of thinking not less than a half century ago. We as consumers need to think less about so easily throwing away that which we needn`t have bought in the first place and more about holding onto that which we eventually, will hold dear.

Beautiful bike! Love the leather love the wear.The philosophy of buying quality products that last is one I wish all would embrace. I have a 41 year old Carlton Flyer and a llywellen road bike both steel both built to last.
