A while ago i had a framebag made by Alpkit but since then i found myself in the position of being able to buy a bike i've wanted for some time, a Charge Cooker. The new frame is much bigger so rather than have a new frame bag made (and spending more money) I decided to utilise the extra space with a frame fit bladder holder. Bladder fitted in the picture is a 3 litre with the feed tube runninhg up the top tube to exit by the headset.

Re: MYOG Frame fit bladder holder.
a sensible solution to having too much space and not enough frame-bag - well done that man!
now get to those seat cushions...

Re: MYOG Frame fit bladder holder.
That is excellent )
I like the idea of using a bladder in my frame bag, but creating space as I drink seems to be the issue - I like a tight-pack and rattles drive me nuts on the downhills, so seperating the two like that is a great idea. Stable in use?
Edit/ Reminds me, I have this from my alpine bumbling days, may work in a similar way.
