Scott's bags are awesome. I've seen some in person with my own two eyes. Highly recommended.

I've been in contact with Scott over the last couple of weeks wrt some bags for various bikes. Based on what I've seen and heard from others, I am expecting a quality product. He's been really good to work with so far.

There's no link on his site for products, pricing or availability. Am I missing something?

You're not. He hasn't created a formal list for those things yet. |

I just received a full kit from Scott. These bags are awesome. Excellent attention to detail, constructed of the exact same materials as Revelate and Carousel. Awesome to work with. We talked A LOT regarding small design elements that I was interested in. Scott replied to every email within a day. Worked with me to get me exactly what I wanted and from the time I put my order in until I received my kit it was perhaps a little over a month (and that was stretched because he had to move in the middle of that period -- even then he responded to questions post haste). Scott is an awesome guy who has ridden many self-supported tours so he understands the needs of the bikepacker intimately. There's nothing bad I can say about his work, in fact, I want to make clear that all I can say is how awesome they are.

Is that a custom seat bag, a Booster Rocket or a Sally Ride? |

It's the "new booster rocket seat pack" that Scott adjusted for the Thudbuster. Check out this page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/60767053@N07/6258050789/#in/set-72157627564429564/It's actually a detail picture of the bag Scott made for me before he sent the kit out. But shoot Scott an email and he'll help you figure out exactly what works best for your needs. I wanted a bag that would be able to hold a good 12 liters of stuff. In the bag on my bike in the above pic, I have a sleeping bag, down sweater, a long sleeve layer, arm and leg warmers. Amazing. What else I really like about the bag is the bungee on the bottom for a pair of Native shoes (super light camp shoes) or flip flops or whatever. Let me know if you want any more details or pics. |

Hate to be off-topic, but what are those drink bottle holders on the fork - custom made? How do they attach?

Scott is awesome, and he will respond very quick to your needs! He is building me a custom top tube pack and I can't wait! What i like about Scott is, that he will build you ("anything custom") for your bike!  |

Just received my Porcelain Rocket frame bags from Scott this week. I'm completely blown away by the quality of Scott's work. He was extremely easy to work with and communicated back and forth quickly. Some photos of my bags are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/zenbiking/sets/72157628104075749/ I'm happy to take some more if you want detail shots of anything. Steve |

David, Yeah they are really nice. The Mukluk one has gotten a good workout so far. I'm amazed at how much stuff one of these frame bags holds without even giving any thought to how stuff is packed in. A quart thermos of hot chai was a welcome treat on a cold ride a few weeks ago. |

I just stumbled across that last night. An awesome behind the scenes view of his operation. also: Scott posted some photos of bags that he just released to fit salsa anything cages. It might be useful for the OP http://www.porcelainrocket.com/2012/02/13/anything-anything/ |
