Krampus Framebag

Post by samwise »

Hi All,

Thought I would share my girlfriends most recent furlough project, which is a roll top frame bag for my Krampus! We are both super happy with the result!

I've given is a good test ride with tools in the bottom zipped compartment, a 2l water bladder in the top, along with some snacks, plenty of room for more!

I since found some yellow cord for the lace up, which I think looks better?

Cheers,
Sam

I like that, nice work :-bd How do you find the ally buckles? Are they easy to adjust and do they stay tight? I'd thought about using them instead of side release buckles as there's no moving parts and they look more durable. I've broken a side release before by over-enthusiastic tightening of a strap on a seat pack :roll:

Thanks all! I'll pass feedback onto the creator! Too early to tell on the buckles on this frame bag but we've used the ally buckles (g hooks) on some custom handlebar bags that my partner also made for a year or so and they have been solid. Nice and easy to use with gloves on too.

I really like the look of this framebag, and wifey has agreed to make one for me.

Did you follow a pattern or video?
