    I absolutely agree with that. Sergio does a great job, and his prices are always extremely fair.

    Leather work for the new year. I’ve been wanting a messenger bag for the day job but everything I see is bulky, is overly complicated with pockets everywhere and/or expensive. I wanted something minimalist/streamlined that’s just big enough for my laptop and some paperwork and a few things I’d need on a day to day basis but can also be attached to my bike. I hate wearing a backpack on my motorcycle and the saddle bags I made are reserved for long distance trips. This holds my laptop, some paperwork and a couple pens and mounts perfectly behind the fairing on my bike. Since the finish is shiny and new it looks a little euro-trash but it’ll break in nicely since I’m not gentle with my leather goods. Brass hardware all around because I’m boujie like that.

    I’m technically not finished with it- still need to add a clasp to hold it closed (I’m waiting on a Cobra buckle to come in) and I want to finish the inside. Debating dying the raw leather a different color for visibility or just slicking down with a natural finish.

    I agree 110% with that. Sergio made rock sliders for me, put on Deaver Leaf Pack, and fabricated stands for my fly rod holder, and has answered a bunch of questions for me, and everything is done to the highest of quality and always provides excellent answers. He even allowed my 18 yo son to do some of the welding on the rock sliders on my truck. I have the most complete trust in Sergio. Plus he's a super cool guy.

    Thanks for the kind words guys. I’m not a businessman, nor do I care to be so I try to be fair and make sure to give you guys your money’s worth. I always appreciate everyone that comes in for custom work as well as installs and I think it’s important to nurture the trust between me and my customers.

    I am going to chime in here with my 2 cents worth.
    I meet Sergio some years back when he drove over 2 hrs to help with a friend's truck.
    The attention to detail was awesome.

    Fast forward to a couple of years later when I was trying to find a decent roof rack for my truck.
    Sergio built me one that not only works for me perfectly, looks great but would easily withstand anything I could ever throw up there.

    However. there is a downside.

    You walk out of (place the name of any store or restaurant where truck guys might go) and you can easily find your truck. It's the truck with everyone standing around drooling over my roof rack.
    The downside is you lose 10 minutes answering questions, where'd ya get that, does it make a lot of noise, can you mount lights on it..........


    Makes ya feel like a rock star........

    Your mileage may vary.

    I go to Sergio with every question I have in life. What is the meaning of life and the universe? He only charges me a fair rate to ramble on about existential crises. 10/10 recommend. And the metal work is solid too! haha

    I know I had discussed color matching some items on my truck to my bronze wheels with Sergio, but I couldn't really visualize it. Those look great though!

    Haha yes. I was there the other day dropping off some stools and fridge handles to get coated and saw those. Looked sweet. Shame on me for not recognizing Sergs work.
