ohhhh, that slaps. IS it a sticker kit or?

Nah I just made random shapes with illustrator and then they are cut in vinyl on a craft cutter

Thread is extreamly motivating to rebuild my katu!

love this

decals looking good imo. list for a forum set starts here:

what’s going on at the rear end here ? and has anyone on here created a floor/bottom for their basket ?

was just discussing this with @cake

i guess as long as the rack has the weight capacity nothing stops you to have a seat at the back, thats a popular child seat, i forgot what its called.

this bike tour company I spotted in san sebastian appears to use custom made fabric basket bottoms. I’ve just been using a blue ikea bag, for now

I dont have a floor but do have a custom bag made for it. Was thinking of doing a rack mount battery mounted to the bottom though

haha, I am not sure my illustrator skills will stretch to that!

Lets see the custom bag, I am using an ILE Porteur one that fits well but I was thinking about getting someone to manufacture a front rack that I can attach a crate to as the basket isn't that safe for carrying a dog

had bags made here before - https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/331860/

Very good quality at a good price.

The basket is not safe for this

I’m trying to bait user chopsicle into making a batch of LFGSS x albion katu basket floors, for exactly those purposes…

@Chopsicle do it

It was @Chopsicle who let me use the cutter for the stickers. He has seen first hand how that basket is not fit for purpose

Although he did make the dog this Albion x Fforest blanket which I use to pad out the bottom of the bag. Welsh wool on the top and then technical waterproof on the underside.

Its a monster shopper/packer that anchors to the top of the basket

That’s excellent, much taller than the ILE

Yeah, its a custom job from a local shop here in austria with fancy mountaineering hardware.
