  • Here's a bit more progress and designing-out-loud.

    I have asked @Tijmen to make some bags for this, as I am very happy indeed with the ones on my gravel bike.

    I am really intrigued by the mini rack-bag setup used by Tomii cycles on their Canvas / Fat Canvas bikes. However this is likely a step too far for my upcoming course, as I won't have time to pursue making a rack as well as the frame and forks. I plan to add some eyelets so that I could go down that route in the future.

    In the meantime this led me to some thinking about which bags are actually most useful, and my conclusion is a combination of the classic half-frame bag and top tube feed bag. I've mocked up a render of these.

    Also shown is my plan for a stainless cable rub bar on the headtube. Also, internal rear brake routing is on the wishlist but may or may not be practicable.

    How would you go around the BB? Even with a T47 BB I found you need quite accurately drilled breather holes to have enough space for the hose to make the bend around the BB.

    I'm intending for the hose to exit the DT on the NDS side, then be external along the chainstay. Routing it inside the BB and along the chainstay does look great but it's too much hassle to make and install/maintain.
