Modular Ramblonneur
Made To Order: 4-8 week lead time.
A randonneur bag for use with the majority of my standard accessories, designed around the Nitto M18 (or similar) randonneur rack. For brevets, the Map Pouch works perfectly for a cue sheet. For you extra hardcore types who ride TO the brevet, stash your bedroll on the front or top using the Net Harness. The Net Harness can also be used to overstuff the main compartment when running to the post office or home from the grocery store. The Fancy Pouch is a perfect front pocket on this bag. The inside is full of organization options from pockets to pen holders to a whole shock-cord panel for items of all sizes and, as always, is lined fully with high-vis orange recycled packcloth.

If you don’t want me picking your cord color, specify what you want here.
Duck Canvas bags can be fully waterproofed with my waterproofing wax.
Custom sizing: Of course, the sizes offered here are my “standard” offerings. They allow me to keep prices lower by standardizing my cuts of fabric, webbing, etc and by applying the same process to each bag. I also know how randonneur bikes can be and how riders sometimes want a perfectly fit bag for their deep custom brevet bike. To accomidate I do custom size bags for this model on request. The design fee is $40 to have me pattern out your exact dimensions, plus whatever base cost for the bag (usually the same as above unless there are huge departures in size and features.)
