Finally a convenient and stylish way to carry your u-lock on your bicycle! Inspired by Brooks saddles, I designed this holster after searching for months for a stylish, non-plastic way to carry my u-lock on my bike rather than in my bag, and refined the design on my bike commutes to ensure it stays put in a rattle-free way. The u-lock holster has been featured on The Awesomer, Gear Culture, and Biped Fred. Super-strong stitching keeps your lock tightly secured and rattle-free. Hand-finished, hand-stitched thick leather holster attaches to your bike in two places on your front or rear rack using Chicago screws and a buckle closure. It requires a flathead screwdriver to mount. This u-lock holster is designed to fit the Kryptonite Evolution Mini-Evo 5 u-lock (or any lock with exterior dimensions approximately 5.5" wide crossbar x 7.25" long). U-lock companies include the inside dimensions of their u-locks in their specs rather than the outside (they measure the "hole" in the middle rather than the dimensions of the lock itself) - the Mini-5 is 5.5 x 7.25 on the outside and 3.25 x 5.5 on the inside. Custom-sized u-lock holsters are not available at this time. The leather pictured here is dark brown. The leather in this holster is made with USA-made tanned leather from a local company that I finished with a combination process including Walnut Studiolo weatherproofing dressing. COLORS: Natural, Honey, Dark Brown, Black MATERIALS: Vegetable-tanned leather, nickel-plated steel hardware DIMENSIONS: Approximately 10" x 5". This u-lock holster is designed to fit the Kryptonite Evolution Mini-Evo 5 u-lock (or any lock with exterior dimensions approximately 5.5" wide crossbar x 7.25" long). MONOGRAMMING: Yes! This item can be monogrammed with up to 4 characters. If you'd like a monogram, please also purchase this monogram listing. EACH ITEM IS MADE TO ORDER with love in my workshop in Portland, Oregon. INTERNATIONAL orders, please note: our shipping and handling does not include your country's import taxes or VATs.
Walnut Studiolo
Hi, I'm Geoffrey Franklin. I'm an 8th generation Oregonian, born and raised in Beaverton and Weston, Oregon. I graduated from the University of Oregon Architecture School. I run Walnut Studiolo with my wife, Valerie. I design and craft all the products in my workshop, and Valerie runs the business side.
Bicycle accessories are my core focus but I love good design, as an architecture student, and I loved learning how to work leather as a medium. Eventually I also started enjoying the juxtaposition of leather and wood. In these products, I'm expressing my love for good design, architectural concepts, and natural materials in products that I would want to use myself…and I do use myself. I field-test all my products until I'm comfortable with them before listing them on our shop.
My goal is to make high-quality, beautiful, durable, and most of all functional solutions to everyday problems. Thank you for buying small and handmade. I put my heart in everything I make.
