Envelope

1) Good thread, interesting to see the ins and outs of the process
2) nice rear bag, looks very classy
3) I have an envelope barbag / convertible bumblebumbag and it's fucking sick and super useful hahaha suckers

I have some Envelope stuff and would buy more

Have you ever worked with bananatex or similar materials?

Bags look amazing and I’d def buy one.

@Bodz nope - unfortunately I can’t get any. Sample order is way too spenny and then minimum order is quite large - aimed at established businesses I guess.

Anyways, something came in the post that will be getting a lil canti mount rando rack, so will need a bag to go on it!

But first... @Hulsroy had been waiting on a frame bag for aggggges...

Bananatex® is the world’s first durable, waterproof fabric made purely from Banana plants

I'm an idiot
but it doesn't look like bananas, which is a shame

Brother audax fixy (doing the bike lord’s good work) became a thing. But Gilles Berthoud mudguards are a horror show so they’ve come off as an expensive mistake and I’ll probably take the plasticky longboards from my tourer. Oh well... Chunky tired fixed gear is almost there!

Also how much for GB?

Hah!

It’s probably too early in the morning to work out but they have at least 5 new holes and some bad filing where they line up with a fork crown...

I'll let you sort the rear brake cable first

And the dynamo cabling second

I wish YAL was here. He only says nice things.

What is that neat looking rear light bracket doohickey? Did you make it?

Fookin' niiiice.

This plus an M5 bolt and a couple 5mm spacers. :)

What happened with the guards?

I've heard in another thread that fitting them is an easy 10 min job.

They got relegated to London Young Working Professional Bingo Corner - next to the wine fridge, under the cheese plant.

They looked so nice too! But unfixable rubbagge is unfixable rubbage. Disposed now into the garden next to the homemade kimchee.

They probably refused to be set properly because you didn’t talk to them in French during the installation.

"Je vais te couper en deux si tu n'arrêtes pas de te frotter putain de stupide métal"

I'd expect for there to be some grammatical issues there but I imagine that is nearly a direct quote from Dan on the weekend.

Hills debut tonight so we can critique it in the pub?
