First attempt at a frame bag. Cuben fiber race ultra-light

« on: July 10, 2015, 08:19:18 PM »

Hi, this is my first attempt at sewing. Decided to make a racing frame bag out of Cuben. It turned out at 78 grams. Learned a lot with this first one. Already have ideas for changes next time around. Going to make some gas tanks next.

Freakin brilliant. Why is this the first frame bag that has a lifting point cutout? I am all of a sudden infinitely jealous of your bag! I always end up just hanging the rear of my bag a bit loose, but that is silly. It also makes putting the bike in a stand a total PITA. You sir, have just opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities!

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, that is exactly what that cutout is for. That has been my pet peeve during hike-a-bike with a loaded bike. No handhold. I haven't seen it done before either, but wanted to give it a try.

Scott.

Ultra-light bikepacking race bag design #2, the addition of the 3-compartment top tube bag. Also weighing in at 78 grams. So far that's a total savings of over 1lb from my old bags! Going to test them on a 3 day trip this weekend 😀
