Project: Tipsy the Boler After
Tipsy the Boler after – a labour of love, truly. We overhauled this 1972 Canadian made Boler twice – that’s right, twice! The first time was to travel the west coast for about 3 months back in 2014. This time – the summer of 2021 we overhauled Tipsy the way we wish we could have the first time around – galvanized frame, a solar panel, and a nifty icebox ta-boot! Okay, let’s check out some photos! Tipsy the Boler After Back in 2012 we purchased…

Project: Tipsy the Boler Before
Tipsy the Boler before – it’s hard to call this post a before since it’s actually more like an in-between.
