Bike Frame Handle

So, I was googling around
and found a brilliant thing called "Bike Frame Handle"

It looked and sounded so nice that I couldn't resist making one of my own.

I wasn't going to make something so posh like a "Leather Bike Frame Handle". I had some leftover Webbing straps and buckles from my previous projects, and I had a "recently added to the toolbox" "button rivet set" (cost about 15 bucks or for the whole stuff, the anvil, the hammer tip, and the hole puncher with about 200 rivet sets).  So, I started making mine.

Basically, the handle is a non moving part. The two straps on each side are the moving, adjustable parts of the strap. So you don't have to fiddle with the handle too much. Just estimate how much webbing strap you'll need for the handle, make two loops on each side of the handle and fix them (with rivets or sewing).

The fasteners are easy too. One loop in the middle of the Tri-Glide and fix them. You're done.

So, I made some holes with my electronic soldering rod, cause punching a hole off of webbing fabric didn't seem to be that promising long term not to mention it was quite difficult. And I hammered the X out of the rivets. 

 

And they look like this. 

And they work brilliantly.

If there were to be any improvements, I would sew all the connecting joints and add a rubber handle for bags on the handle, and change the fastening mechanism (Tri-Glides) to a Cam Buckle. That would be quite perfect IMO.

Anyways, KUDOS to the guy or gal who invented this thing. 

Thank you. This thing rocks!
