Lomo Dry Frame Bag?

Thanks but ideally want a but that secures on the head,top and seat tubes so it doesn’t jiggle when out of the saddle.

probably should have said that in the original post.

I'm sure there's more.

You can move the straps on the Lomo to any edge of it. They're in a "ladder"

I just ordered an Ortlieb frame pack top tube, comes in at 4L apparently. Probably won't stuff it that full.

Just want somewhere for a jacket & stuff for long days on dirt roads. Bar bags get in the way of lights & seat post bags don't agree with droppers.

Have got a frame bag, pods etc for Gbike, perfect for long rides.

Recently bought  a cheap Chinese bumbag to try ( before I buy a good-un) and much prefer it for shorter/half day rides. Easy access to stuff EG no need to take backpack off to get kit, can just swizzle the bumbag around to the front, remove kit, carry on riding.

I like my Blackburn Outpost Framebag which you can up-zip to enlarge ... available in 3 different sizes .. link here to the main page

I found this list.

just leaving it here - not that anyone bothers to search on stw and the forum will probably screw up the links.

Well that's easy for you to say 😉

The Blackburn outpost is a good budget option. The medium one fits my Krampus and Vagabond perfectly. The zipout option to make it bigger is good too.

Seems very robust, and definitely waterproof (been out in some heavy rain with it on).

It’s not immediately obvious but Alpkit do custom bags, so that’s the way I’ve gone.

couldnt find anything off the shelf which did what I wanted so worth trying this route.

great review here of beerbabe bags and packs, https://singletrackmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/bike-check-sam-jones-from-cycling-uks-surly-ecr/ on something called "singletrackworld" you might not of heard of it 😉

Saw it. Not interested as it’s too big, too heavy and looks ****ing horrific.

but thanks 👍🏻

 it’s too big, too heavy

not sure you grasp the concept of custom but hey, you go with off the peg that looks better than it functions and not get exactly what you want that someone who doesn't know what your needs are has knocked up but 👍

You mean like the custom one I’m having made 🙂

They may make smaller and lighter ones but I doubt they’ll look any less horrific. To my eyes at least.
