I got a seatbag and gastank from Greg and am impressed. The stuff is really well made and works perfectly. The seatbag holds much more than you would think and doesn't move around when riding singletrack. Highly recommended.

Greg hooked me up with all 4 of my bike bags. I have a custom frame bag, seat bag, bar bag, and a stem bag. I raced the AZT 300 last year and the bag were absolutely bomb-proof! I didn't have any issues with the bags and if I ever need any repairs or things changed Greg told me just to give him a ring. Definitely, check these bags out!

I now have one of Greg's Troll frame packs, unfortunately no pictures yet and haven't had a chance to take it on a camping trip either...but it's pretty sweet and already been handy for commuting around town. Still waiting for a gas tank thanks to a USPS screwup, and I have several busy weekends between me and being able to go on an overnighter, but I'm pumped!

I've got five bags from Greg, for various applications. All custom. All perfect. Used on Arrowhead and Maah Daah Hey with nary a problem. Great gear. FWIW, building a new bike now that will require very custom bags and will go to Greg to get them done right.

I'm a very happy customer of Greg's. Great stuff! His seatbags rival Revelate's. He took the time to work with me to get my frame bag dialed.

i got a frame bag made by greg. he was super cool on the phone and we talked about the bag. the price was well worth it. very nice seams and fits the frame perfect. haven't had a chance to take it out on a trip yet, but i can tell its as nice as my carousel frame bag as far as the construction and quality of materials for a lot less.

Hey Greg, have you seen the picture of J-Paks "prototype" saddlebag on his blog? Looks exactly like the ones you've been selling for a couple years with the old style front strap. Are you working with the guy or is he just ripping off your design?

I just completed a batch of black medium saddlebags. The mediums are the most popular and versatile model of the bags I produce. They were designed to hold a lightweight 3 season down sleeping bag, silnylon tarp, and bivy with some room left over for a down coat or enough clothing for a multiday adventure if you chose to carry your sleeping gear in a front sling.

Oh yeah - here's the album from an October overnighter using the frame pack Greg made. I now have two other smaller packs which haven't been camping with me yet...that'll probably happen in another month or two once it's not so damn cold. http://www.julianbender.net/pinebarrens2012 |

A quick update for several of you who have asked when certain items would be back in stock.
I made a small run of front carriers, top tube bags, and medium saddlebags last week to fill existing orders and have several extra for sale. This week will be spent making custom gear for AZT racers but I'll start building up the inventory again and will have large and small saddlebags available shortly.

Hey guys... Just formalising another high 5 for Greg!
Greg made me a custom MEGA gas tank bag a couple of months ago. I live in Australia, Greg lives in Colorado but we chatted on the phone a few times and I drew up some clumsy designs in an attempt to communicate what I was after. The bag is awesome - exactly what I was after. It survived the Tour Divide this year too!
I can definitely recommend Greg and his work.
Cheers,
Jesse

Just got my custom seat bag from Greg! This thing is perfect for the TD this year! He always produces the best stuff. I highly recommend his stuff!

One more plug for Greg, I have his seat bag and it's great. I would have more of his bags, but I tend to not plan ahead on my bag needs and purchase them from the local bike shop that carries Revelate for the instant gratification.
When I get a new bike I'll be calling Greg for a new frame bag.
