Half Frame Bag - Single Zip
A half frame bag is a great option for larger more traditional shaped frames where you want to keep some water bottles mounted in the standard locations. Ideal for touring and cyclocross bikes where a full frame bag might be too big. Scroll down to learn more.

CUSTOM MADE TO SUIT YOUR FRAME

Single Zip Main Compartment
A single zip frame bag allows easy access to one large compartment. Ideal for smaller frames and for those that just want a simple bag.
-

What's the process?
All frame bags are custom made to fit each frame. In order to get the perfect fit I need a template of the inside of your frame. I have made hundreds of frame bags so I may already have a template for your frame. Get in touch if you have a common make and model to see if I do.
If you are local to Wellington pop into my workshop and I can make a template for you. If you are not local or can't get to the workshop then making a template is easy. Click on the link below to see the instructions.

Fabrics and Materials
All frame bags are made out of a mix of materials, all hand selected each for a specific purpose.
- 1000D Cordura 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.
