Is there anyone who makes custom welded TPU frame bags in the UK?

The closest you'll most likely find is the Apidura Rich. Or you coukd check out James Haydens waterproof bags, an Italian cottage maker (one lady show I think). He claims they're fully water proof and they're custom.

Found it (well, her name) she's called Rusjan (brand named after her I believe). He mentions it here https://jamesmarkhayden.eu/knowledge/keeping-dry

I'm tempted by those 7R bags just for their tagline, "Ride your bike where even wolves are scared to sh*t"! :lol:

I have two of their bags and am very impressed with them. Proper waterproof and both have come through heavy rain without shipping a drop. Lovely people to deal with as well. :-bd
