Brompton bags

[Fab Foodie]

Once you have a Brompton frame you can attach any kind of saddle-bag too..... Carradice Camper Longflap.

The price is the main bug bear with Brompton bags. But I am doing this as a project, just to see if I can. I have been known to give away stuff I make. Its also a good way to recycle waste cloth.

I agree having a bag on the front is like sailing backwards, I usually just have a Restrap holster on the seatpost.

Anyway prototype 1 has reached the bike. I will now sit and work out in which order I should have made it. It is sewn in white thread to make taking measurements easier and so I can see what goes where. View attachment 436542

You can also buy a mounting block which marries up to the luggage block.

Here is ths Christmas bag I made from a vinyl table cloth for a bit of fun. It took me about 20 minutes to make and could have been a lot neater. But it works perfectly well and even in a sustained downpuor it stayed dry inside.

That looks really neat and festive :-)
What's the gizmo on the top tube / handlebar?

It holds my Wahoo gps.

Wow they are really neat - great job!
I already have a Brompton Shoulder bag but it barely fits anything in (style over substance!) so have been looking at other bags having just realised that I could remove the frame but hadn't considered making my own...thank you for the pictures they help.
