Jeez

That price is good!!

 

I was thinking +- 15l

 

Fabric is no issue for me, should be stong and that means heavier fabric...

 

Can i order?

 

Is there colour options?

At the moment it came out at R300?

Easy to extend the body and the price may change due to fabric choice,

What size did you have in mind?

Very impressed, great initiative and execution, well done

Hi Freak

It would be no problem to make that size.  According to my calculations it will be 6cm longer?

Colour wise- any colour you like if a lower grade fabric is used.

In the pics, the red is the only colour variability areas available at this stage using the heavier but stronger fabric.

Waiting for tests to be carried out and final variations in colour and price can be done.

At the moment, it seems a pretty good piece of kit. One change so far is the angle of the fixings trap.  You can see from the pic it is not quite straight?  The fixing strap around the seatpost may be changed to normal 50mm webbing with HD Velcro?

 

Should I decide to sell these bags, I will need to know they have been thoroughly tested and workable.

Seadog, 

 

Funny that you mentioned frame bags, I met with a manufacturer today wrt making frame bags for hard and soft tails based on the design that I made for my bike (see attached). If you keen to join us on the ride at the end of march you can have a look and would be great to see what you guys think.

I see you have a GT Sensor, I have the same bike and have struggled to find a framebag that fits. Would you be able to share your design with me or alternatively, provide details of the manufacturer you mention?

Ryan, how comfortable is your brooks saddle before its broken in? Just got mine, haven't put it on the bike yet, and planning a 4-5 day trip soon.

Ok, rather not going to risk 5 days with an uncomfortable saddle

I didn't want to put you off but was wanting to suggest not taking a new Brooks on a 5 day trip.

What model? B17

 

Yes, B17. 

 

Will use the Selle Callan put on the bike - the crudest looking saddle, but very comfortable.
