Repairing around the world, a customized tool roll.

Jonathan Duncan from Canada is involved with supporting athletes in the cycling world for over 10 years, which includes wrenching on the team bikes.
Jonathan sent me an email with a custom order request. He asked me to make a custom leather tool roll for his tools. I asked him to send me a picture with the tools he used along with a ruler so I could make a design that would fit all his tools.
The bikes Jonathan worked on are the best of the best and showcase the absolute finest in materials and latest technologies. The bikes become a talking point and an attraction for race fans to come admire. It is without saying that they need to be in the best possible shape and tuned with only the best.  
The entire pit set-up needs to be held to a higher standard, including how they travel and store our tools. 
This year, Jonathan's schedule will have him wrenching around the world. He got events in South Africa, the UK, American, Italy, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Canada. 

Some of the athletes Jonathan works with can be found at http://www.norco.com/athletes/teams/elite-athletes/ 

Their events include the UCI World Cup, Crankworx, and the Enduro World Series.
