I decided I would try to sell these boots so I painted them and hopefully somebody wants to buy the boots and the painting of the boots. Craigslist don’t fail me now!
This is a project I have been working on for quite a while. It’s a Raleigh Record Ace frame which I stripped and repainted and built basically from the ground up with a mix of old and new components.
And it’s for sale!
My grandfathers shop in Brampton is a very special place. He was a contractor for his whole life and the remnants that remain are reminders and constant inspiration of a life well lived. The smell of the place, a mix of old chemicals, fire and sawdust clings to your clothes and is incredibly reassuring. These were taken with a Canon ELAN II in September 2011.
