The bum bag thread got me thinking....
That decathlon bag looks ok for the money. Not waterproof but I don't really mind that...
Anything similar/better for around that price? Will have to have the pack delivered which adds a fiver I think.Lol
Got to fit in this.... Medium Bizango.

Exact one i use on my Scandal 29er...just squeezes in perfectly running vertically on seattube on my small/16" frame. Run it through the winter and, although not specified waterproof, haven't noticed the contents getting wet and it has got covered in mud. In the main compartment i have mini pump, inner tube and multi tool, then an small compartment i keep a couple of gels for emergency. Bargain imo but i am a Decathlon fan
I use one as my main tool bagpn my road bike no complaints at all
Yeah I posted about it on the bumbag thread and as said above, it's not stated as waterproof but my stuff has never got wet, I even hose the bag down if its really shitty after a ride.
I only bought it as a test, but its great and really stable. I prefer it in the verticle position down the seat tube.
There are more expensive ones out there that are peobably fancier and have other features but I can't fault it for less than a tenner!!
I fit a 29er tube, mini pump, multi tool, tyre levers and a micro packable jacket!
Got one of these https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/abus-st-2200-frame-bag-705670?currency=3&delivery_country=190&gclid=CjwKCAjw96fkBRA2EiwAKZjFTa0Y7E9nCI4vuI3gCPK_gzBcEi9S6sYrjXYPCGhqirw7CSjauw_VAhoCpPYQAvD_BwE
from a UK seller awhile back.Its a lot tougher than the one you linked.
I also got a larger triangular one off ebay from China for about a tenner which is very sturdy with rubberised edging a decent zip and good stitching unlike most of the stuff on there.This make and very similar to this now avaiablein the UK butmay be too big for what you have in mind. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Outdoor-Triangle-Frame-Bag-Bike-Bicycle-Tube-Frame-Mount-Pack-Quick-Access/282979691720?hash=item41e2e76cc8:g:R54AAOSw~Q9bBrEm
Thanks nick, got me thinking on eBay ones too!
People with the decathlon bag, any chance of measuring it please? Need length and the height of the part going down the seat tube please?
No spec in the decathlon sure I can find...
Yep, its 260mm long (so down the seat tube if you have it verticle) x 90mm wide x 65mm deep. Below pics on a medium Cotic Solaris mk2.

Looks good, just ordered myself one.
Have you seen the cheap frame bags on planet x?
I've no experience of them but they were in the sale last week and looked pretty good for the money, apparently waterproof too.

Don't have this bag.
But the Decathlon stuff is quite good. Best bang for the buck.
