A full length top tube bag puts easy-access storage right where you need it - snacks, phone, tools, whatever you want without stopping to dig through a frame bag. Custom shaped to your bike for a perfect fit and maximum volume. Scroll down to learn more.

Current lead times for custom bags are shown in the banner below the menu bar.

A single zip runs the full length on the top of the bag and opens from either end towards the middle, so you can grab what you need from the front or the back depending on what's handy. If you'd rather just have it open from one end, that's an option too.

Every bag comes standard with an adjustable vertical Velcro divider to keep your gear organised and to prevent the bag from bulging out, plastic stiffeners in the sides for structure, and covers over the zip ends to keep water out where the pulls sit when closed.

Like the frame bags, this is made to your specific top tube, so it sits close to the frame without flapping around or getting in the way of your knees. Standard width of the bag is 6cm - other widths are available on request.

  • Full Length Zip, Opens From Either End

    The water-resistant zip runs the whole length of the bag and opens from both ends towards the middle, so you've got access from the front or back depending what's easiest to reach while riding. Happy to make it single-opening only if you prefer a simpler setup.

  • Custom Made Fit To Your Top Tube

    Every top tube is a different length and shape, so I template each bag to fit yours specifically. That means less bulge, less rubbing on your knees, and a bag that actually sits where it should.

  • Multiple Attachment Options Available

    Bolt on, Lace up, Large Velcro straps or Daisy Chain webbing with removable and repositionable double sided Velcro straps. Make your bag suit your bike and needs.

  • Adjustable Vertical Divider

    An adjustable velcro divider runs vertically inside the bag, letting you organise your gear into separate compartments. It also adds support to the sides of the bag to prevent bulging.

  • Weatherproof Zip Covers and Cable Port

    Covers sit at either end of the zip where the pulls rest when closed, preventing water getting in around the pulls. If you want to run a cable in or out of the bag, a port can be added through the cover at the front, the rear, or both — so you can charge a device or run a light on the go.

  • Guaranteed Fit

    Every frame bag is made to your exact frame measurements, using custom-made software to turn your photo or cardboard templates into laser-cut fabric pieces accurate to under 1mm. I guarantee the fit - if something's off, let me know and I'll remake or adjust it.

What's the process?

All full length top tube bags are custom made to fit each frame. In order to get the perfect fit I need a template of the space above your top tube on your bike.

I will need to know how high you want the bag to be from the top tube. It can be different heights at front, middle and rear, and curved or straight. If you are making a paper template just trim it to the size and shape you want. If you are doing a photo template then you can just let me know what height(s) and shape you are after and I can make it to that in the pattern software.

If you are local to Wellington then feel free to pop into my workshop and I can make a template and discuss your needs with you.

Fabrics and Materials

All full length top tube bags are made out of a mix of materials, all hand selected each for a specific purpose.

- 1200D RBC Nylon forms the perimeter of the bag as this is a strong material and ideal for the attachments. This fabric has a PU coating on the inside and a DWR coating on the outside making it very water resistant. 

- 500D Cordura Nylon for the side panels as this is a slightly lighter material than the 1000D but still more than durable enough for the job. This fabric also has a PU coating on the inside and a DWR coating on the outside making it very water resistant.

- VX21 X-Pac, LS42 Liteskin, Ecopak EPX200 and ULTRA 200 can also be used for the side panels. These are lightweight laminate fabrics and have a slightly different look to the 500D Cordura.  Ideal if you are looking for a lightweight bag but don't want to compromise on strength. Water cannot penetrate this laminate fabric.

- 70D Coated Ripstop Nylon in bright Yellow is used on the inside of the majority of bags to give an extra layer of weather and wear protection. This also make the contents of your bag a lot easier to see.

- Paskal moulded water resistant zips are used for all openings. These have a PU coated tape and offset teeth making them very weather-proof. These are a tough zip and have a nicer action compared to a traditional coil zip.

- All webbing is Nylon military spec and all hook and loop is Genuine Velcro brand.
