Recommend me a frame bag, that I can use with a water bottle

Post by tommid »

As the title, which frame bags can be used with a bottle in a cage, either on the down tube or seat tube.
Pictures would be great too.

I'm finding I use this more than my custom Buggybags frame bag:

got clobbered for duty etc when we ordered so it wasn't cheap but is well made and surprisingly roomy

You could go for a custom bag from Wildcat Gear...

The Wildcat "Clouded Leopard" is similar to the Revelate Tangle Bags, but a custom fit. Size of frame will determine how many or what size bottles you can use and how big the bag will actually be.

Quite fancy a sort of half frame bag myself, one that allows the vertical bottle use only, any views on those Ian. :?:

Yes, you could go for that. You'd only have two main tubes to attach the bag to, unless you did a long strap on the back edge of the bag that straddled the vertical bottle cage and around the seat tube . You'd have to factor in the amount of space you'd need to extract the bottle, but other than that I don't see any problems.

I can see myself wanting one of those Wilcat bags in the future. I've just ordered one of those Jandd bags for now though. If you order them from Bikewagon on Ebay.com, they're a couple of dollars cheaper and postage is half what Jandd charge (albeit a little longer to wait). Mine worked out at £30.05 including postage, even if I have to pay 20% tax it's still not bad.
I don't really need the extra space as I've got a seat bag and bar bag already...it's just so I can separate/organise things a bit better, it might enable me to use a smaller backpack too.
