              • Hook & Loop
                • Hook and loop straps are the easiest option to quickly install or remove a frame bag from your bike.
                • Chose a different color for the hook-and-loop straps on your bag! The default color is black
                Bolts
                • Use your bottle cage bolts instead of straps to mount the bag to your frame.
                • Most frames still require some straps – along the top tube, one strap behind the top zipper, and sometimes on the down tube.
                Lace up
                • Uses webbing loops with paracord to thread through them. Lacing pulls the bag into the top tube securely and has a nice clean look.
                • It has the disadvantage of taking longer to install and remove the bag.
                • This option is commonly paired with bolt-on attachments for the seat and down tubes.

              Additional Features

                • Side Pocket
                  • The side pocket is a thin pocket on the left side of your bag, running the whole length of the bag. It’s a great place to store small items like phones, snacks, or a face mask.
                  • It’s depth varies on Double Decker bags, but is generally at least 6 inches deep (measured from the top of the bag). On Partial Frame Bags, it will usually take up the whole side of the bag.
                  Stretch Fabric
                  • Stretch fabric below your zippers can extend their life if you tend to stuff your bag very full.
                  • We recommend skipping it for printed fabric bags, to maximize the visibility of the print design. The stretch panel replaces 1.5 inches of visible fabric with a black band. This can make big difference for a Double Decker bag, or if the bike has a small frame.
                  Reflective Tape
                  • Add a strip of reflective tape below the zippers on your bag, for greater visibility at night.
                  • Placement of the strip can vary based on bag shape, but we try to aim for a long strip near the top of the bag. We usually put it below the zipper on zippered bags.

                Anyone whose ridden a London double decker bus knows how effective they are at fitting a large crowd of people into a small vertical space. Our Double Decker Frame Bag works the same way, except with your stuff instead of dour Englishmen (no offense).

                Perfect Fit for any Bike

                It doesn't matter whether you have a hardtail, a rigid bike, or a full suspension - all of our frame bags are custom made to fit your bike like a glove. We have an extensive list of saved templates for bike frames - click the button below to see if your bike's on it:

                If we have your bike on file, just enter it in the notes box above. Otherwise, we just need a photo of your bike with a tape measure, and we'll use our PandaVision technology to make a perfectly fitted bag.

                Organize Your Stuff

                In the immortal words of Alton Brown, “organization will set you free”. If you have a large frame, using a single zipper frame bag can be a maddening experience. There’s nothing quite like rooting around elbow deep under a mountain of gear, trying to find your toolkit (yeah, we’ve been there). With a Double Decker bag, you get two zippers instead of one, with a horizontal divider to separate the two compartments.

                The divider also provides width control, which actually gives you more volume on very large frames (like larger steel road bikes). On a really big frame, without a divider you end up losing volume around the edges. A divided bag allows for a more rectangular cross-section.

                Non-Abrasive Divider

                Instead of using straight hook-and-loop for our divider, which is hard to adjust and can be abrasive on your gear, we sew smaller strips onto light-colored fabric. As a bonus, the bright fabric makes it easier to find small items.

                Burly Zippers

                On a frame bag, the zipper is always the weakest point. We hate landfills so we use the strongest zippers we could find: #10 YKK molded tooth zips that shed dirt and mud easily.

                We’ll optionally add a strip of stretch Cordura fabric, which helps reduce peak load on the zipper, especially when you pack the bag a little more full than it should be (which nobody ever does, right?).
