Ah cool I just found this thread! Great to see some of other people’s projects. I’m in Budapest now without a machine so nothing new from me but I don’t think i’ve put up any pics of this before. A few years ago now, after flying with a bike in numerous forms cardboard box/large soft bike bag, I knew I wanted something a bit smaller and suited to my needs so I made my own. I took the basic design of the Orucase and took apart an old hiking rucksack from a charity shop and re-used the whole back and straps as well as long zip. It’s doesn’t look like much but it’s got some cool features like 3 internal pockets for tools and Velcro removable 3 layer foam pads on all sides meaning that when not in use it packs down pretty small. So far I think it’s survived 12+ flights!
