I have vague memories of making that bag.
Should fit many other frames also of similar size.
Just measure the DT, ST, and TT on the inside and compare to the dimensions listed above.

V brakes work great. Lighter and cheaper than discs too.
But they're not as good as discs on extended steep terrain or wet/snow/slush/mud.
I've done 4,000 foot descents in Colorado with V brakes no problem, but this would be hard on them after a while especially with a loaded bike.

4 Everything Bags, barely used (can't even tell). The customer's bike setup changed (fenders, racks,...) and no longer fits the everything bags or the bar bag listed below.  Black with reflective and no logo. $45 each.  Free shipping.

1 bar bag, black (I think it has reflective too). $70.  Free shipping.

My old frame bag is for sale too.  Black VX42, reflective, padded tubes, left map pocket, panel loader. Its several years old with several thousand miles on it. AS IS. Designed for my 2009 Vassago Jabberwocky size medium, but should also fit many other similar shaped frames - Surly ECR/Krampus/Karate Monkey, Salsa El Mariachi, REEB, Borealis, etc, etc, etc.
$45 OBO free shipping, or trade for bike parts - make an offer.

Looks good. Years ago I made an ultralight synthetic vest from a www.thru-hiker.com kit.  Worked great except I made the arm holes too big/loose.

Pricing is quite flexible so contact me if you're interested and we'll cut a deal.

This would make a great commuter bike or great for gravel grinders.
52  Forums / Classifieds / 64 cm titanium "All Roads" style bike - made by a legendary Merlin frame builder on: May 18, 2015, 04:07:31 PM
This beauty was made in 1993 by Gary Helfrich after he moved on from Merlin - so there's no decals but the design is spot on perfect.
64 cm frame fits a very tall person!

Price reduced!

Frame is a cross between road and mountain - these days we'd call it a monster cross bike.  Great for road, dirt roads, touring, and everything in between.
Works well with flats or drop bars, and has mounts for racks and fenders and the like.

Tires in the picture are 35 mm and have TONS of clearance still - 45s or bigger would probably fit.  
While the bike is over two decades old it is very well maintained and ready for many more miles.

Only on Bikepacking.net I'll include a free Cleaveland Mountaineering custom frame bag with the sale as well.

The component selection is nice high end stuff from 1993 - WTB Grease Guard hubs on Mavic rims, steel Chris King headset (no logo on the cups), Shimano XT 8 speed drivetrain (with a hard to find high end 8 speed cassette), gripshift, Easton carbon riser bars, a custom stem, Shimano cranks with road touring gear ratios, toe clips, Avid V brakes, and a frame pump.  Rides really nice.

The wishbone seat stays are labeled "Groo" as that is the last name of the original buyer.

Tires are in need of replacement but I'll leave tire choice up to the buyer.











Asking $1000 (price reduced!) with free shipping anywhere in the 48 states (willing to ship international also) and comes with a free custom frame bag made by me!
I can measure frame geometry upon request.

So still available.

On a 2009 Jabberwocky/Bandersnatch -
It fits but doesn't make great use of the space - note the gap near the head tube (a tube or two could fit in there) and a smaller gap near the top tube/seat tube junction.

I ride a medium Jabberwocky (2009) so can check that when I get a chance.

For square taper cranks, look no further than Phil Wood.  I got an older used one at a swap meet for $15 (!!!) and I've put over 13,000 miles on it (mostly bike commuting) with NO maintenance whatsoever.
Save money somewhere else on the bike - like what sticker is on your derailleur.

60  Forums / Bikepacking / Re: New Salsa Anything Cage HD on: February 12, 2015, 05:08:24 PM
Copied over from another thread.

Disclaimer - I have a vested commercial interest in the following discussion...





Salsa didn't consult with me about the Anything Cage HD http://salsacycles.com/culture/product_process_the_anything_cage_hd
and I was a little shocked to see them talk about the R&D process like they came up with the idea out of nowhere... perhaps they did and just never stooped low enough to see my little micro business.

Their coming out with the Anything Cage HD is a rather obvious admission of the weakness of their previous design.

I did think about a molded plastic version of my Everything Bag a while back (long before Salsa) but don't have the order volume or distributor network to make it work.

While the Anything Cage HD does fix a number of the problems with the original cage, here are a few design details in which my Everything Bag still wins out.

1. The Anything Cage HD (ACHD)  has a stiff rounded back so will only work well with rounded objects.  The Everything Bag (EB) has a flat framesheet with fabric sides so conforms to whatever shape you put in it - rectangular, round, odd shaped, you name it.  The following picture shows the Everything Bag carrying a rectangular 2 liter juice bottle - try that in a stiff round plastic cage!



2. The EB has a broad enough bottom and metal cam buckle straps so if you're carrying a Nalgene bottle, and run the straps just a tiny bit loose, you can get the bottle in and out without adjusting the straps.  Does this work on the ACHD?  I don't know but suspect not.

3. When ladderlock or side release buckles are tensioned over a round hard radius, the friction decreases with the angle of the straps.  So when the radius gets to small, the buckle creeps open or jolts open.  This is one of the major reasons the EB uses metal cam buckles which do not slip no matter what the angle.  I don't know if the buckles supplied with the ACHD suffer from this problem, but I'd be surprised if they didn't.

4. The ACHD has a wider plastic frame than the EB so when the plastic is bumped against a rock or tree or the ground the longer lever arm will put more force on the bolts, mounting bosses, and plastic frame, increasing the likelyhood of failure.

5. The EB is available with p clamps and hardware to mount on just about any fork on the planet - including suspension forks.  Only forks with sever tapers from top to bottom do not work.  The ACHD could also be used with p clamps but they leave you out in the cold to figure it out for yourself.  P clamps are readily available, but are not typically found at your local hardware store in sizes over 1 inch.  So that leaves the customer to figure it out for themselves, and more than likely, they'll have to get a bag of 25 when they only need 6 of them.  Salsa would be wise to come up with a molded plastic widget that fits on a wide range of diameter fork legs and allows the cage to be bolted on...  I would do it but don't have the sales volume to justify getting a plastic mold made.
