Hello there, yes it's been a concideration for a little while now, especially with making the new bag in diff colours, watch this space!

Too kind apollo! the presale is starting to fill, another incentive is that the potentially free pouch your bag could come with (on the presale), actually kinda fits onto the outside of the bag through the lock holster, cool feature i only discovered this morning.

Thanks for the link! patrick is quicker than me, I used to have to send him links and stuff - what a guy

Hey everybody,

I'm releasing this very very soon (within the next two weeks).

I'm just posting it up here because I've decided to do a little presale to make sure everything gets going properly.

It'd be a situation where you'd preorder, and then the bag will be made and dispatched within two weeks, here's the blurb:

This bag is something I’ve been excited to show you all for such a long time now. It’s an absolute workhorse of a bag. Made from the toughest stuff around, designed to accept whatever you want to throw at it.

Whether you’re taking it on a day hike, a lightweight overnight camp or on the bike, it works great.

• Side compression straps
  
• Deep side pockets (fits most U-Locks)
  
• Covered zippered pouch on front
  
• Covered zippered pouch in top flap
  
• Grab handle
  
• 25mm Waist Belt attach (belt to be on sale not long after)
  
• Chest/Sternum strap (not currently pictured)
  
• Cinch liner at top
  
• Light loop on front
  
• Full padded back and shoulders, with pouch attachments on strap.
  
• Avail in coyote brown or black
  
• Measures approx 55x28x17
  
  
  

It's going to be 100 pounds on the dot, and as an incentive for you preorder people, I'm going to include a pouch or some straps of your choice.

PM me for further details, this is a very limited presale, but there will of course be many more available once it is released.

Excellent work.

I believe I sent out your hip pouch this afternoon!

PM'ing details amey!

The price will be 100, the pre-sale guys will get something extra too like a pouch to say thank you.

It measures 55x28x17. This equates to about 28l, but it definitely feels more like a 30L due to the hiking style cinch top on the inside. It has open side access pockets, a flat zippered front pocket and a pocket in the top flap accessed by a zip above the bag straps.

As for photos of the straps, more coming at the start of next week. They're pretty standard straps, with a sliding sternum strap (though that won't be pictured in these presale photos) as this piece of hardware is one of the items I'm having to special order. The pre-sale is mainly making sure I have a few expensive tools I need in time for the launch.

There's also a 50mm triglide on the strap ear for attachment of a waistbelt (not really for cycling, good for ski trips and hiking/walking).

Brother was faffing about this morning with a new film camera, a shot of one of the final protos.

Sold!

These look great buddy, chuffed that you're motoring on :)

Hey everyone,

I bought these a while ago for my velodrome bike. They've pretty much only been used commuting to and from the track and on the track itself. They look good, there's some wear on the logos and such, but that's nearly impossible to avoid as you all know.

The backpack is ready to go, it's just a case of sorting out a few pieces of hardware and then we'll be all good.

Are a bunch of you guys after this sort of thing? I might be arranging a kind of private presale to help get the bag off the ground properly. Let me know in a PM. Photos of the final prototype coming soon.

had to go to ebay, sad.

PM'd! @ aidanmc

lo pros/persuits with risers, this one also has a jacked stem.

^ I was all ready to order a mini messenger but that looks rad. Now I dont know what to do...how long until production?

Will be spring time (month or two) I reckon, it's nearly there, bag almost designed itself didn't really give me any grief!

I love both bags but this is more on/off bike.

some great beer related banter going on here chaps!

in other news, something a little different coming soon. prob gunna do a few different sizes and also something simliar in a rolltop. nothing courier sized planned as of yet but i'm open to all things.

if you want more of this guff then follow my instagram (bigxtop) as i'm too lazy to maintain the main site blog unless theres a real piece of news!

Don't telll them that shh! :o

My wallet is still lovely man, even though i spend hours every day sat on it at the sewing machine, it still smells of that incredible leathery scent.

Tis a mini messenger my friends! But thank you for the kind feedback, and all of the orders in Jan.

It's with regret that I put up this wonderful frame and fork that did so well in introducing me to the world of road cycling.

It has had no use since I bought a carbon bike in the summer, and It's best that it's moved on to a new owner. It's far too nice for me to use it as any kind of commuter bike.

I got it from Hilary Stone about a year and a half ago. It's in fantastic condition and boasts a lovely paint job in lovely nick. The only noticable damage is a repair to the seat tube where the front mech mounts. The repair looks of good quality and has definitely not caused me any kind of issue or upset. This is obviously covered by the band on mech.

It's a 57cm c-t on seattube, and a 56cm c-c on the top tube.

Clearances on 700c are nice and tight, adding the the overall look.

This is relatively rare, and the paint is just incredible. 150 Posted, Thanks!
