Bikes are ready, bags to go!

Another eventful day. Our bikes are completed, and we have now placed them at the tailor Romario for them to create two pairs of bicycle bags from scratch. We did manage to get the trays for the back in the end, and the 18 meters of 1/2''  alloy pipes will remain unused (we are a bit disappointed regarding this). We chose the materials for the packs, and listed all important factors like: straps to keep them down, support in the back (so they do not go into the wheels), handles for transportation and 100% waterproofness. We believe they are in very good hands. We would not have managed this without Ruben, and we hope that he can take a patent on our packs and make a fortune selling them in the future.

 
Yesterday at the bike shop, going through every single part of the bike. Ruben in the middle, and David to the right.
  
The day after (today), and our bikes are finished. Going through the last details.

 
The tailor for all kinds of pirate copied stuff. They are experts at creating stuff, and they will make our bicycle bags based on a rough sketch made by Eirik.

Bildene fra Machu Picchu og turen dit var en opplevelse å se. Utsikten fra teltet må være et inntrykk som dere sikkert husker resten av livet. Ellers er det jo artig å se at det som en lett tror er områder hvor de tilbud vi har hjemme ikke finnes. Og så viser det seg at dere bl.a. kan kjøpe sykler vi svært gjerne kunne ønsket oss her. Vi følger i spenning og stor interesse både blogg og fantastiske bilder fra steder vi sannsynligvis ikke kommer til å oppleve selv.
Hilsen fra Kjersti og far
