POPPY

“Poppy fields” – Sally (2024)

BIO

Back in the 80’s this vintage Raleigh Traveller was used as a daily commute to school. Riding through poppy fields every summer was a stand out memory for its previous owner.

I haven’t done a two tone rust look since my Psycho Killer build, where rusting the mud guards and slightly rusting the frame proved to be a nice look.

Poppy comes with white cable housing and bike chain, with matching white wall Raleigh Records.

Another stand out feature of this build is the RT Trading Wicker Basket and a really cool Liix XXL bicycle bell with Catalina Estrada motif (I think the bell design is called “Catalina Estrada Girl Blue”).

For an even more plush look I reupholstered the original brooks saddle
with a pair of old John Rocha jeans … not affiliated but love his clothes :O)

SW-9.1.5.

BIO

SW-9.1.5. was a quick build and thank you present for a good friend.

This bike was stripped of all original decals and replaced with personally designed ones (professionally printed by Diginate). Decals consisted of orions belt, the name of bike and the constellations of Orion and Canis Major.

SW-9.1.5. was given new grips, white wall tyres and an old vintage sprung saddle. A little tricky to handle with her coaster brake, but she ran smoother than a chocolate mug of hot Baileys.
