Chuck me a message, wouldn't take much to make a bigger one.

I'm still chugging along, though I've spent a good chunk of the last few months on site as a chippy.

The bags still go when they come in, I'm going to make more of a turn back towards bagmaking again. I have an excellent setup now and it'd be great to put it to use.

I've actually just re-released the flat pouches, very handy little pieces of kit that are made from the scraps from making the bigger stuff.

I'm very open to customisations on the backpacks now, as that's the route I want to take over the on-bike stuff. I'm happy to make the mini messenger for forumengers too, maybe with a slight twist on it as the design is over ten years old now.

Yep, its a fairly simple addition, never had a complaint about the execution so I believe it's fairly universal - especially with todays skinny laptops!

The inside white on all of them, from stock the inside is just a blank slate but I can add a laptop sleeve no problem, have done this many times in the past.

In terms of pictures for other colour options, I hadn't planned on releasing the daysack right away so I'm relying on previous posts on my Instagram to give you an idea of colours, if theres a particular colour you're interested in I might be able to find that colour specifically to demonstrate.

Cheers!

I brought the daysack back, looks pretty neato in the fancy multicam black.

I sent out a 10% discount to those who did the survey and left an email, I'll leave it here for you guys too as a thank you for all the support, it's SURVEY10. Will be live for about a week

Site is http://www.bigxtop.com

I'm always on this thread, either message me here, instagram, or just post.

Ref the mini messengers, no plan for the time being, but might look at a redesign

Cheers!

Much appreciated,

I'm actually planning on bringing the daysack back too - lots of people seem to be wanting it!

I've added a small video walkthrough to the product page, if you can't see it it's on my instagram too but it should be there!

Going to do a wee vid on that! Will be the next day or two, it's been fully hectic trying to get everything together and that's one of the things that slipped through the cracks for yesterday

I'm actually back now, limited range, but hopefully some stuff you guys like.

Love to see it!

The products coming back will likely be the tool roll, mini seatpack (v2), completely new rackless bar bag, hip bag (similar to the ones i did for mercredi if you're in the know) possibly a small set of panniers and a duffelsack (v2) as the flagship backpack. There's going to be price increases, but well within what you'd expect for this market.

The model I'm going to use for selling will be stock on the small bits, custom slots every 3-4 weeks for the bags and a splattering of "drops" which will be mostly me having some fun with limited edition bags.

Really appreciate everyone's feedback on the survey. I was originally going to post it elsewhere but you guys gave me 100 responses in 18 hours! It was very helpful for setting out how I want to do things.

My new machinery is on the way, am mostly just tieing things up with my current line of work and doing some prototyping. Will be back in Sept.

Want to hear from everybody but it has a 100 response limit, if you wanna chat to me about anything just message me on here,

It's pretty clear to me that you guys want to see me back, and I really appreciate that. I'll be coming back, and it'll likely be in the next two months.

Catch up with you all soon! I'll post any updates here and the instagram will be coming to life again too.

If you guys are interested, I might be coming back soon, but i'll be changing a few things,

I've put together a little marketing survey if you lot are interested

Hey dude, email me one more time if you like i've been really slack this week!

i came to your same conclusion, it's just not clear is all.

Does it include everything seen or just the frame?

There's a little accessory bar you can get from Klickfix which is great for lights.

It sits above the mount, as so

Really chuffed we're all sorted, hopefully the postman can figure out where the hole in your door is next time

Done!

PM'd

Get hold of me dude, we didn't follow up about what happened?

Appreciate it my friend, it'll fly though :)

Whats up guys thanks for all the kind words.

I dont like having products on the site which don't sell, I used to sell alot of straps but SPD became much more in vogue around 2012.

Same with hip pouches and such, werent selling well, lots of people make them, I wasnt that stoked on making them myself anymore.

Still very much focused on cycle specific gear but more towards on-bike bags and backpacks which are comfortable for cyclists.

As correctly noted, I've no real interest in making larger messenger bags, Just a personal preference, my product line is mostly driven by things I like using myself so it then breeds decent product.

Just simple strong things, dont really want to go in a fashion/lifestyle direction, still focused on cycling + climbing.

Business is stronger than ever, I should really be hiring people by now, I'm doing okay on my own but the waiting list is 3-4 weeks at the mo. I have a fantastic studio/workspace with several great bits of kit and machinery.

PM me my friend!

Just over two weeks but in certain circumstances things can be bumped
