Ahhh...the obligatory 'kids in the bag' shot that everyone does when they get their first proper 'big bag'. :]

Even those without kids of their own!

Haha - yeah I tried to tempt one of my greyhounds into the bag but they weren't having any of it :)

got my bag today. after the stupid postman screwed up yesterday. but it is brilliant!
nice and stealthy

but most importantly (to me) it can hold all my A3 folders i need, there is in fact 3 in in the picture, and it also makes my size 12's look small.

to sum up: the bag is well sick innit, cannot recommend enough

Thanks dude :)

Just a quick note - Crumb's bag has a couple of features that are new following feedback from the Cycleshow:

These include -

triglides to stop the bottom compression straps coming loose when just the velcro is used to close the bag.

quick releases on the compression straps, suspension straps and stabiling strap

adjustable main buckle position

sternum slider style stabilising strap adjusters - 3 (2 on the main strap, 1 on the rib strap) - enabling you to tailor where the buckle connects - also allowing should you have an x-strap to have offset xstrap and stabilising strap connects.

triglides for adjusting the suspension strap take off points

webbing keepers for all webbing/straps

I really need to make myself a bag with all these features - as I am still using my original prototype :) although I have a feeling that it will be commanderred by the missus.... (you almost didn't get your bag Crumb!)

Do you have a picture of the back with the basic strap.
I am keen to order one but don't know if I want the X-strap or not.

I don't currently - I really need to get round to taking some more up to date shots of the bags :)

As regards the x-strap - I would say if you are in doubt then order it with one - its detachable so you only need connect it when you need it :)

my bags been awesome over the last however long dan.
3 weeks ago i managed to fill it up completely, it was ridiculously heavy, but with the x-strap and everything done up nice and tight it didnt feel too bad at all.
had a proper rain test today as well. abosultely pissing it down! everything was dry of course.

what I like to hear :)

Yeah the x-strap really helps with heavy loads, and getting the straps nice and tight so it sits high on your shoulder blades rather than the small of the back is the key, as you have found.

What are the dimensions of the greyhound compared to the deerhound?
I am sure i saw the before but cannot find it again.

volume is approx 35 vs 50

external dimensions of the Deerhound are basically 2" bigger in each direction

I hear good things about Levrier bags, I'm looking forward to seeing some new stuff soon.

Thank you - and yes I really do need to get some more updates/details on the website etc :)

by the way - Road.cc did a review a little while back of an early version of the Greyhound and seemed to like it: http://www.road.cc/content/review/31513-levrier-courier-bag - most of the feedback from the review had actually already been addressed before the review came out :)

A few shots of some recent bags:

I am also planning on having a local company do some embroidery work for me for the front flaps - so keep an eye out for that.
