I ordered my new Krampus next week. Night blue pearl.

And I want to take it camping. So I need carrying capacity. So I'm
thinking about sewing a frame bag.

f you have done that, what fabric did you use and where did you buy
it? I'm looking at 1050 denier coated ballistics nylon or 330 or 500
denier Cordura from Seattle Fabrics, or 840 denier coated ballistics
nylon or 500 denier Cordura from Quest Outfitters. I definitely want
something waterproof, but I'm not sure how to choose between weight
and strength.

Also, if you have made a frame bag, how wide did you make it? Did you
flare it at the front? What did you use for padding for the edges, if
anything? How does it attach to the bike?

My bike is going to be a size small. The Krampus has a sloping top
tube, so that means a tiny little triangle, and lots of seatpost
showing. That suggests room for another triangle-shaped bag above the
top tube, in the triangle between top tube and seatpost. Has anyone
tried that?

It isn't a contest. Enjoy the ride.
