tis a llooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg thread
looking just for making things
I copied Alpkits instructions and made one of the saddle bags very quicky the night before a recent trip. It worked quite well but I had to pack it carefully so it didn't rub on my legs. I just used velcro to fasten it to the saddle rails and seat post and a bungeecord was essential for security.
I also made a framebag (just figured it out as I went along) which worked really well. I got a heavy duty zip and some rucksack material, and 5cm velcro to attach it to the frame.
Head over to the Bearbonesbikepacking forum and check out the myog threads.
alpine girl where did you get the material please?
I just bought it from the local outdoor equipment repair place, but you can buy it over the internet. Something like this:

has a range depending on what colour/weight you want. Or search on ebay.
