So last year I made my first attempt at making some bike packing bags for my 29er which came in handy for hammock camping trips in the remote north eastern forests of Cambodia where I worked. This summer I'm gonna be touring Europe on a Awol so I thought I'd have a go again. The biggest problem with the first saddle bag I made was keeping it secure over rough terrain and the typical 'wagging' out of the saddle. So for a while I'd been lusting after a porcelain rocket Mr. Fusion, and whilst I like being able to support small independent manufacturers after the shipping and customs charges it was gonna be way too expensive so I thought I'd make my own. Got a cheap pipe bender off ebay and some steel tubing from B&Q and I'm pretty happy with the result so far! Also made myself a half frame bag and a top tube bag.
