Andy, if you really want to coordinate, I think the Steel color Doms or possibly the Yellow Dragons would be a good match.

I can't argue with your aesthetic sense, so I am paying attention here . . .

Inaugural commute, 14 lbs in the front bag, nothing on my back, halleluja!

Attachment 91463

Super cool bike, looks set for anything but maybe the fastest of group rides. What is that bag? I have a sorta similar but far less high tech bike that has what I call a mini-porter front rack. I have gone back-and-forth on whether I should get a traditional rando bag (i.e. Berthoud) or more Of a porteur type bag…

Thanks, Doug

[Eric Estlund]

Hi Doug- I made Andy a rack in a size I call a "demi-porteur". It's a size that has a lot of versatility for either porteur or traditional rando box-type bags.



The bag is a custom RuthWorks SF bag. Ely and I work together to design luggage and rack systems specific to the needs of the client and that integrate the attachment of the bag with the rack for ease of use. This particular bag is a porteur type sized to work with Andy's needs. In addition to the main compartment it includes a small padded laptop sleeve that is accessible from the outside. It blends XPac on the bottom for weather resistance, and a mix of traditional materials for the top.

The attachments are specced to fit the rack deck and rear rail.





Bags can be ordered through me or Ely, and I also do a "front end suite" that includes a bag/ set, rack(s) and fork made to work with them and your bike. Of course I can always hang a bike below that bag, too.

Eric, Andy, that bike is an absolute home run! Exceptional work.

+1 that thing rocks!

Dang! Now you're making me wish I had ordered a porteur style rack with my Winter to go with the low riders.

Turned out well. The custom bag is a great add on.

[Eric Estlund]

Haha! The next one!

Eric seems to enjoy providing a nom de guerre for his creations. This one is "Brise Rose." Below is the raison d'etre for Brise Rose - happily rolling when it is cold, wet, late and dark.

Today is the last day for Bespoked 2016- some check out the show and say hello!

[Eric Estlund]

Thinking about a limited run in "Mechanics Friend" Black. If you are interested, post a note- if interest is good I'll set up a pre order this week.

I still have some shirts left in M and W cuts in Blue (no mens M) and Red.

[dogrange]

Hi Eric,

Totally in for the Black. I'd probably buy 5, 1 for me, 1 for wife, 1 each for 3 kids ages 4-10 (if they come small). I'll buy a blue too if you have one in L left.

[Eric Estlund]

I'll be running a pre-order where folks can buy the specific gender/ size they want, and then round out the order with a few for stock. We should have you covered! I'll check to see what is left from Bristol- the men's shirts were hit hard!

[Eric Estlund]

Quick scan as of today leaves me with limited stock in:

M's Blue (2XL,XL, S)
M's Red (M, S)
W's Blue (S, M, XL)
W's Red (S, M, L, XL)
