I decided to make myself some bikepacking bags for my Panorama Boreal during the winter months, first time making bike bags but I have made myself some backpacking gear before. I went all out on these bags, making some 3d printed parts, as well as some laser cut and CNC aluminum components.
The bags are constructed out of X-pac X11 (Storm Grey, Mountain Brown & Lux Black), Cordura 1000D, Cordura re/cor 1200D, Robic 210D Extreema, Ultra Stretch & Ultra TX50.
-Frame bag 7.5L: 3D printed TPU mounting interface, internal HDPE and carbon fibre frame for structure with pump and folding lock mounts as well as inner organizer bag made from Ultra TX50 and held in place by Fidlock Snap buckles.
-Toptube bag 1.5L: also has 3D printed TPU mounting interface for direct bolting to the toptube, with a laser cut and bent aluminum frame to retain structure without need for a strap around the steerer.
-Stem bag 1L: lined with 3mm neoprene and mounted using a Fidlock Twist connector (this won’t be mounted on the fork as in the photos but higher up along the headtube; I’m working on a custom steerer tube bracket for a handlebar bag and it’s going to have bottle mounts off to the sides).
-Rack bag 7L: laser cut aluminum base plate and CNC clamps for directly attaching to rack without needing straps. Ultra Stretch pockets on either side for extra storage.
-Mini Panniers 12L per bag: custom mounting harness with CNC aluminum hook and Austere Manufacturing ladder lock, webbing is Dyneema for extra strength and abrasion resistance. Panniers have an EVA foam, HDPE & carbon fibre insert for structure. Left pannier also has a pair of lower tabs so the mounting harness can be swapped for lightweight shoulder straps to convert to a backpack for away from bike excursions or extended hike-a-bikes. The panniers also have rear stretch pockets. They’re unlined, rather I’ve opted to make ultralight inner stuff sacks out of TX50, which can be fully seam sealed.
I still have a handlebar bag to make, likely a smallish Rando style bag of ~7L, and a hip pack of ~2L, giving a total of ~50L of storage.

The bags are gorgeous. So well made. What model are the vibram sandals?
Beautiful bike, beautiful bags – great craftsmanship. You could turn this into a business if you wanted to.
stunning
not at all jealous….nope….nuhuh……
Wow!
Wow that’s incredible
That has got to be one of the prettiest touring rigs I have seen. Madlad skills on the bags.
You really could launch a custom bag business with just these pictures. How many hours do you have into this though?
And on a side note it looks like you are using one of my fav touring bars, a Surly Moloko. I love getting on the horns of the Moloko for road riding. I find these interchangeable with Jones bar as long as you use a 3cm longer stem with the Jones. The surly brings you 3-4cm more forward by default then the Jones bar. I use the two almost interpperably on my commuter and a couple of my touring rigs. I have never messured point to point but of three rigs I bet they are all within inchees of one another from the saddle.
Also cannot make out the stem and seatpost from the pics. I assume the stem is a suspension too? What brnads and how do you like them?
That frame bag design is brilliant.
Super cool bags, nice work! Can I ask what candles you have? I’m looking to downsize mine.
Damnnnn that’s clean!
absolute gorgeous, congrats! wish I knew to do such things from scratch!
That has to be the cleverest design I have ever seen!
Ooooh I just got my bedrocks and i absolutely love them. They feel so solid <3
Insane work! Color matching is top notch
These are incredible. Did you post to MYOG? Love the roll top frame bag, that design looks very smart!
I would love to see a tek on how you created at least one of these bags. The fabric cuts, stitching, what you printed, etc… .
Seriously the best diy bags I’ve seen on here. What materials are the bags?
Matchy match!
It is not my kind of bike, but I love the colors and crafts you made. A very nice steup. I hope you have a lot of fun and collect nice memories:)
Probably one of the best posts in this sub due to the high quality craftmanship of these bags. They strike all design notes for me; functional, high quality, elegant, great looks, innovative etc.
ChatGPT, how can I say I hate that you are so talented in the nicest way possible?
Just wow!
Bags look excellent, as fellow panorama owner I want one of them snack bags to match my anticosti!
