Underseat bag for Vendetta?

[John Dorlon]

I'm looking for a small bag (maybe a top tube bag) that will use up most of the triangular-ish shaped space that the frame makes in front of the back wheel and under the seat.

Anybody know of one?

It's kind of a weird shape - I'm thinking that if I can't find something, maybe I'll take a stab at making one. It would be nice to use up that whole area.

Thanks.

it would be nice to have a specific frame bag for the area like the catrike frame bags.....but. i take it you have seen the offering on the accessories page for the v and s30 frame bag.

Thanks Jond - yeah, I saw the NorBack Frame Pack on the accessories page. I'm sure it's functional, but I don't like the way it hangs down, and I don't need that quite that much storage.

Any of the Speedsleev products should fit under there. Not a lot of capacity, but you can move the essentials there to save room elsewhere.

Wal-Mart, less than $10. Cut off the waist band strap, re-sew some Velcro straps to go under the frame tubes. Done.

Back when I got this one, they were black.

That looks pretty good and a decent price too. Thanks BentAero.

100 Velcro straps - $5

I could probably make a bag just with that much Velcro!

25 yards of velcro for $21. You could make a vendetta with a bag from it.

That area is just begging for a custom bag. The four struts make it extremely easy to do. If I had a V I would fill the space and have the back side match the curve of the tire.

That's exactly what I'm thinking, trplay. I just haven't done it yet.

You mean like this one?

Very nice.
A close up and words of explanation would be a great add to this thread.

What is on everyone's lips are, "Do you make them in Vendetta Red???"

Is this something available commercially or was it a local creation?

ohh wow that is nice. maybe i should buy a sewing machine and become a pattern maker learn to sew buy some red and yellow fabric and then retire to the bahamas.

It's really time to enclose that with something temporary and shoot expanding foam in there to make a mold; and then just figure out what it would take to get a custom bag made. Time to do some research.
