@Velocio
I've got a bagaboo :)
What I'm looking for is someone like Isaac @ Chicago Wig.
He's able to custom make almost anything... you just go in with beer for him (and payment obviously) and explain what you want and he'll whip up a prototype immediately.
This means you can get custom anything... especially if the basic idea is pretty simple. Want a custom tool roll? Or top tube protector? Then he can knock them out.
And that's really what I'm seeking. My road bike cost a bomb and I want to protect a few areas of the paintwork with velcro strap-on and washable tube protectors made for the bike. My Jackson could do with a top tube protector. I've got a couple of zanier ideas too... like a cover for a camcorder... bolt the camera onto the bike and cover the camcorder for basic shower proofing.
All simple rectangle based designs, but requiring decent materials and I lust after nice workmanship (or I'd attempt it myself).
Who's doing the secret prototypes?
