Santa Fe, New Mexico-based Farewell is releasing its newest bag today at 12 Noon MST. The bag is dubbed the “Despite all my sage, I am still just a bag in a cage” and, as you guessed it, is a basket bag.

These upcycled fleece custom 4-panel unstructured caps can be worn on and off the bike and is available in a dark olive green fleece crown with a darkish salmon bill. The flexible bill is also a bit longer and wider for more coverage from the elements.  Multi-colored bungee cord and black button adjuster to get the fit just right. Huckleberry patch sewn on by hand. Made by Zephyr Line Workshop of Ohio.

The Upper Hand is Jay Ritchey’s Bags by Bird take on a half-frame bag with flip-top openings for easy one-handed access while riding. Why a flap opening? Well simply put, BXB wants to avoid zippers. Before life as a seamster, Jay documented long-distance bikepacking races like the Silk Road Mountain Race and he frequently saw zippers fail on frame bags in the middle of nowhere.

That memory remained as Jay later took to designing his own bags and wanted to offer a frame bag opening that wouldn’t fail mid-tour, something reliable, classic, and functional. Flap opening frame bags are nothing new as they have been around over a hundred years, but BXB has taken steps toward refining that idea; the flap has a plastic insert to keep it fastened securely, the entry hole is lined with a thick trim, and is triple stitched to remain strong when over stuffing, on the non-drive side there’s a separate pocket for small items and the stretch cord closure fastens around a metal hook which can be adjusted and repaired easily.

Specs:

• There’s four sizes for the Upper Hand framebag; 16″, 17″, 18.5″ and 19.5″ – the size indicates the length. See the sizing info-graphic for full dimensions (in the product photos).
• Full sized templates are available in PDF printouts to  test on your frame HERE.
• One large compartment on the drive side & one slim compartment for a phone/wallet on the non drive side.
• Lace up attachment along top tube and rear (stretchy ‘shock cord’ included.
• Velcro attachment on head tube and down tube (Velcro included)
• Internal padding around the perimeter where the bag comes in contact with the frame.
• Water bladder hose / charge cable porthole

The latest from the Ron’s Bikes bicycle luggage shop is the Fabio’s Clap Trap, a bag that features a randonneuring bag-inspired opening system. What’s a rando opening system? It’s when a piece of elastic cord wraps around your stem to close the bag. Here’s a video demonstrating the system. This makes for a super easy and secure on-the-fly opening mechanism. You can do it no handed or with one hand while riding and either take out your gloves or stash a jacket. It’ll hold 3.7 liters worth of stuff.

These bags go for sale at 12 noon EST, so get your Apple Pay quick draw fingers moistened and ready for action!
