At the same time another little project I want to embark upon between now and christmas is another diy version of a popular bag design. This time I want to have a go at carradice style saddle/handlebar bag but in more modern materials and probably closer in design to the Ultra Romance/Swift industries 'Fabio's chest'
The plan is that this will do double duty as a rack top bag for day to day commuting to university on top of the specialized pizza rack but also I want to try out the same idea of using rack struts attached to the fork with a cross beam at the top to act as a basic support to keep the bag from sagging into the wheel:
Ultra Romance is collaborating with someone and trying to market it for a ridiculous sum of money but I'll be using the good old bagman struts from Carradice available from SJS cycles.
I want to do the exterior of the bag in olive drab cordura and the interior in grey xpac and I'm hopefully going to get it done in the next couple of weeks at the local hack/maker's space in Manchester which has two rather heavy duty looking Singer sewing machines available for use.
