I was going to place an order through Wee Cog, but it appears they are no longer in operation. Any recommendations for a bespoke (smallish) frame bag? Looked at a few off the shelf options but nothing exactly what I like/ am after. UK based, ideally. Thanks.

Alpkit do custom frame bags - send off a cardboard template and there are various options (width, baffles, numbers of pockets etc).

Spoked and Straightcut seem to be well regarded.

I have used these guys, small business based in Ukraine, happy to ship here, and some profit goes to support war effort.

Can recommend Straight Cut, very nice bloke. Its not particularly cheap but is so well made and will last a lifetime.

Can’t fault my custom Alpkit frame bag - still going strong several years later.

Fair amount around then! I was only aware of Alpkit’s custom offering so this is great, lots to read up on. Thanks.

Another happy owner of a custom Restrap frame bag. Used it only this weekend on an overnight trip.

While a bunch of frame baggers are posting.....a slight hijack if I may.

Those of you who have gone full frame bag and done away with bottles - what do you do about carrying liquid? A bladder inside the bag or put it elsewhere on your body or bike?

@convert I got a Velcro divider in my bag for a bladder but generally go with cages on the fork as easier to drink from.

I've had two from Alpkit. Both are top-notch and I'd happily buy again.

@convert I’m looking at custom frame bag  going bolt on as Jane mounts, and was looking at putting a cage inside and bolting through. Perhaps an option if the positions work in your application?
