Is there a short "under-top-tube" bag that is not a frame bag and snugs up to the head tube?

[Patrick Moore]

Is there a smallish bag that fits under the top tube at the front of the top tube and cinches to the head tube?

I've owned many top-of-top-tube bags like the Revelate Gas Tank and several frame bags that fit along the full length of the tube under the top tube. I've also had top tube bags that snug up against the seat tube. But I've never seen a short bag no more than 12" long and no more than 6" deep that fits under the top tube and straps to the head tube. Does anyone know of such a bag?

Thanks.

Patrick, take a look at this Jandd bag

might be a few inches longer than you like

Scroll through all of the pics to see it mounted to a bike.

Thanks, Brian and Stephen; those are nice bags but I'm really looking for something more or less the size of the Revelate  Gas Tank but for installation under the top tube and reversed so that it can nestle into the tt/ht corner. It should carry a 10" minipump, a small toolkit, 2 42 mm tubes, a 4 oz bottle of OS, a bandana, and a wadded-up musette of thin material. Zipper would have to be on the side near the top. Frankly I'll be surprised if anything like that is made.

Oh, just saw Richard's suggestion: Now that is more like it; will have to look more closely. Thank you all.

Just looked at site; the dummies don't give dimensions. Does anyone know them for the Small?

Oveja Negra does give dimension if you scroll all the way down. I was just looking at them. Also, my very favorite folks to deal with & top notch quality. All handmade in Colorado.

Patrick, have you looked at the Fairweather line of bags that Blue Lug sells (as their own bag brand)? They have quite a few different frame and half frame options, as well as some pretty nifty wedge bags that are made to fit in the space behind the seat tube for those who own Clems, Platys, Gus / Susie, etc.

Here's a link (there's a lot of Fairweather stuff that's not just bags, so you may need to click through several pages):

Patrick, +1 on Oveja Negra. I have two of their bags - both are extremely well done. They don't advertise custom work but might entertain the idea if you contact them. Also, an excellent source for custom work is Rockiest (https://rockgeist.com) in North Carolina. A one man operation and his workmanship is renown. 

Poking around on the web a bit will turn up additional possibilities. What you're describing is often referred to as a "wedge frame bag", or "wedge style frame bag".

I use a 1/2 frame bag and for my $0.02 it's a great way to carry stuff, with the weight kept near the center of the bike.

[Patrick Moore]

You are right; I didn't look closely enough. Small: 13" along top tube X 1.5" at head tube X 14" along dt X 9" between bottom and top at back end. Sorry, I glanced and thought the diagrams described frame sizes.

Thanks; the Corner Bag might work, but can they attach at the short end to the head tube? I couldn't quite make that out.

Re: Corner bag, it doesn’t look like there’s an attachment point at the pointy end… but it would probably work if your frame had a really short head tube.

The other day I happened to notice Analog has a BlueLug top tube bag that might fit your need:

I have used these on several bike and they are perfectly fine.  not quite as cool as a custom bag, but really effective for 11.00

[Brian Forsee]

I'm gonna plug a local bag maker in my town of St. Louis. I have a couple bags from him and have been impressed with the quality. He does custom frame bags and I'm sure can whip up something that will work for you! Prices are reasonable IMO.

At under $11 I can afford to experiment. I ordered one. Thank you.

Thanks, all. For the Monocog, which may be a throwaway frame, someone suggested and I ordered this. It's cheap enough that, if it doesn't work, the loss is not great.
