  • I'm interested too.

  • Don't take the fucking ECR Jake!

  • Bar bag looks good. Mind me asking how much? Any pics of inside and details?

    There will be photos galore, speak to Jordon about price, it totally depends on what you ask for.

  • Reckon I'll speak to Jordon about a custom bag for my Elephants soon.

  • I used the bag this weekend, throughly impressed. As was my girlfriend, she is currently drawing up a custom rucksack for him to make and i'm going to ask him to make a slimline strap, so I can take the bag into the shops etc. I will try and take photos tonight.

    I also might ask him for a new tool pouch or possibly a bum bag / hip pouch thing.

  • New pic with bag Jaxx0r?

  • After work

  • As you can see I went for the 'put a pocket on every surface' approach, so far it so excellent.
    Here's a list what I asked for:

    • Reinforced and padded bottom (for carrying a camera)
    • map pocket (which I've discovered works perfectly with my phone, I can use without taking it out)
    • Front pocket for tool pouch
    • rear pockets for snack etc
    • 'open' side pockets for things that need to accessed quickly or d locks
    • white floating liner
    • strap and buckle retention system, so I don't have to worry about velcro dying
    • d-rings for off bike carrying

    As you can see I got everything I asked for, and made with beautiful care and attention. I'm looking forward to getting many happy hours of use from this, its perfect.

    Unrelated to the bag, I moved my seatpost up a fraction. I'm not Andy Ellis, so I don't need to wheelie round corner, and in the words of Erik Jonsson "it does wonders for my watts"

    • map pocket (which I've discovered works perfectly with my phone, I can use without taking it out)

    heads off to try it

  • Just lovely. Good job bigxtop and spatty

  • That looks great.

  • Looks great! Really hope my DIY attempt at something similar (but with cheating pockets) works even half as well as that!

    How do you find the Gino on the outside? I clipped mine against stuff a few times wheeling the bike in and out of places, switched to the inside to avoid snapping the bolt.

  • Cheers guys, I've had absolutely no problems with the giros in that place

  • looks great, what is that little thing you've attached the light to on your rack?

    It's a Paul components Gino mount

  • Did a bit of light touring in the lake district:

    The bike was great, no problems at all and super comfortable for riding all day. BigxTop bag was really useful too.

    Some fucker stole my new Hope Vision One though whilst we were on the train home.

  • Wow, looks real nice! I need to get out there.

  • How come you had so much luggage?

  • lovely! no detailed ride report/route? :)

  • Missus and I love our light tour in the Lake District, the fact it only 3 and a half hour to get to Windermere is a bonus.

    Got a route?

  • How come you had so much luggage?

    excellent trolling

  • I think the last pic explains it

  • spotter have you got any routes/where abouts did you ride in the lakes?
