Loose cog Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Hi, Are there any hubbers out there working in leather? I have a few toeclip pedals and leather strip helmets which I need leather strips to replace the existing straps. Also looking for someone to make one or two leather saddle bags for me.
Guest notmyname Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Parktown north across the road from the Goodman gallery. I've never been in there. I Just remember seeing it while walking up the hill to the David Krut gallery.

Loose cog Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Yes, they are. Here are some additional photos. Repacked the grease and used a bit of elbow grease after a clean and once over with the Drimmel to remove a bit of rust buildup.
V12man Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Across conrad drive from frattelis is a shop that may be able to help you - forget their name unfortunately.

DJR Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 HeyYou There is an outfit called Velobrien in Cape Town that specialize in bike related leather work. If you want to go to the trouble to do it long distance, or perhaps wait until you are next in Cape Town, they will not just make you something functional, they will make you some works of art. I do leather work myself, and I can tell you, these guys make top end quality stuff. Here is the link. http://velobrien.com/
Quincy Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 http://www.horsemanshaven.co.za/contact/ Try Horsemans Haven, they are in the Leaping Frog Shopping Centre, Cnr William Nicol Drive & Mulbarton Ave, Fourways. I've used them many times and have always had good quality work done.
