2 Sides Update - Esker Cycles Solitaire 1st Look

The two sides for my new gas tank bag

I wrote recently in the blog post titled 2 Rides. 2 Sides that I have been working on something new. Here is the sneak peek of the finished goods!

The Gas Tank/Snack Pack

A few comments on the bag:

• It’s a pretty small bag. I sorta ends up performing like an extended gas tank bag on.

• I skipped the direct mount bolts under the TT because I don’t like how bags droop with direct mounting. I also just like the lace up look.

• I did not sew the lower frame triangle bag yet. I did not have the dropper cable yet (it arrived today) and I want to get that cable run so I can plan my framebag to work as smoothly as possible with the top of the down tube routed cable on this rig.

Esker Cycles Solitaire - 1st look

I’ve still got some work to do on this rig before I go through final set up and details. But here is a 1st look. I think this is going to work out just fine!

Here’s one quick shot from the shake down ride. Had a blast chasing light and enjoying the fall colors. I’ll be back with a lot more detail on this rig and build when I get it finished. Stay tuned!
