Hi all, looking for advice on a 'special' frame bag for my new Rocky Mountain Altitude.
(See here

Altitude | Rocky Mountain Bicycles

Ideally it would be a decent volume bag to fit at the seat tube/downtube junction (under the shock).
Can anyone think of anything that currently exists for that location? Lots of room there (behind/below the water bottle cage)
Thoughts?

They look really good. I'll give him a shout if no off the shelf options exist. Anyone have any leads on something like that in stock somewhere? Seems like a fairly common frame type/location...

I had these made up here by Backcountry Stitch Works. He made a template of my frame, tracing it, to get the dimensions correct. I use the bags depending on the race/ride. There's a guy in Colorado that does these too, a friend had some made for his Santa Cruz, but he feels the quality isn't great, I forget the exact reason. There are lots of people doing this now though, so finding a vendor shouldn't be too hard. I'd worry mostly about getting the dimensions correct, doing it in person seems like the way to go, especially for more complex shapes.
