first frame bags

[brankulo]

my first two frame bags. very basic, no special features, just one mesh pocket inside. exposed stitching on first one (road bike) is not great as i didnt have tensions figured out. going to do full frame bag next, with more features and probably try seat pack too.

I have a question, i want to do a frame bag too, but the cables of the shifters in the upper tube are exposed (see picture), how can i make fit a framebag without compromise shifting gears?

Your bags look great, maybe you could add some reflectant material for extra safety riding at night.

sebadmz, both these bikes have exposed cable on top tube. i just didnt go too tight with velcro there and it doesnt seem to be a problem. i was going to add a section of skinny transparent tubing from home depot on the cable in case it was to be a problem. you would just cut the tubing longways and fit under velcro.

i have reflective tape i might add on road bike, which is my commuter, maybe along zipper somehow so it would cover ugly stitiching
