The Utility Belt

Another little rabbit hole...

Looks like a Brooks saddle. Guessing the angle was the least of his concerns.

Gun is a Fiat Revelli. Did Brooks export to Italy?

Another little rabbit hole...

The bike itself is a curiosity - appears to fold in half and features a rear suspension. Wonder what that tube on the fork is…

yeah

edit; coincidentally they are now made in Italy!

Well the utility belt is a very versatile thing, showing it’s developmental heritage in this thread is pretty cool.

Haven't even started to think of the gun turret aka safari windows possibilities

I agree 100% and am enjoying the path it is taking

I think it is a Berthoud saddle

But are these the same?

With the springs - I think they are Brookes Flyers

I’ve been thinking of some sort of arrangement like this myself. Not necessarily for a fuel tank. But maybe sand ladders or water tank. Trying to come up with some ideas for fitting vertically orientated cargo channel between the utility belt and the gutter rail over the back side panels of the vehicle. Really looking forward to coming up with novel storage solutions utilising the internal and external utility rails, once I get the vehicle in my hands

Good info thanks.
I see frontrunner also do water tanks. I’m going to investigate putting a water tank behind the cargo barrier on my two seater version, like the one in the attached link.
