Until I saw your link to Porcelain Rocket, I have never seen one of those bags made commercially.

I saw one on a bike, it was made by the bike owner.  His bike had a more normal shape for that area since he had a front derailleur (like vast majority of touring bikes) and therefore his bag did not go all the way down to the chainstays, it only went down to a point slightly above his front derailleur.

Due to the wide variety of frame shapes, you might have to make one or have it custom made.

Is that your bike in the photo, and if so how does it handle with that high of a front load?

Thanks very much In4 !

I did make my bags by "Alpkit", and i'm very satisfied.

I like their models of "Fuel Pod" bag, and i'm not the only one, they are again "out of stock",  the quality is there ! about my customs bag, i send a template, and they realized in one week perfectly


Nice English manufacture

You're very welcome Julio and I must say the Nomad looks splendid. The Alpkit bags are discreet but functional and you are able to retain those large-size bottle cages.
Looks like a big ride is being planned.  :)

How much did you pay for the Alpkit custom bag julio?
I've been thinking about one for that same location on my Sherpa, but was wondering if the small size Alpkit Possum bag would fit there. However, your custom bag looks pretty good.

All the best,
