I’ve recently received some more material, and have yet more on the way. Just arrived are more brown trim and a new purple trim color. Celery, Silver, and and Purple Cordura™ are back. Gray, yellow, tan, burgundy and red VCP for liners are also on the way. The colors page has been updated to reflect that (‘though I still need photos for the brown & purple trim).
Multicam™ camouflage Cordura™ is also available for ordering again. I will probably stock up on some of that later this summer. It costs more than twice what the solid colors do, so it will have a surcharge.
The Rando bags have proven very popular — 9 of the first 12 orders on my queue are for rando bags! SF local JimG got the first production model off the “line”, and fitted it with a really nice custom decaleur made with aluminum stock from a local hardware store. Speaking of decaleurs, the Velo Orange blog reports that decaleurs are about to go into production again, so I’ll be able to offer those pre-installed on rando bags when they’re available again.
The waxed canvas backpack I made recently has been very well received, having been blogged about twice in the 8 hours between when I posted the first photo and when it was delivered to its owner. It’s shown up on trackosaurus rex, Cycle Zine, and Bike Hugger
And if you like that, keep an eye out for the waxed canvas rando bag coming later this week.
I’ve updated the rando bag product page to include dimensions as well as some more photos (if you follow my flickr photostream they’re nothing new). I’ll be offering 6 stock sizes, with the option to customize any of the dimensions as well, if one of the stock sizes doesn’t suit you.
Size details after the jump.
Last weekend I lent out the first rando bag prototype for testing, and completed a second, much larger prototype. This one is a little bit bigger than the popular (and large) Ostrich bag. Again, not for weight weenies, it weighs in at 1lb 15oz, or 880 grams.
It’s shown here attached to my Box Dog Pelican with a Velo-Orange decaleur. More details after the jump.
The first real rando front bag prototype is complete, and looking pretty good. And bound to be popular, if the number of comments it’s received on flickr are an indication.

If you’ve been following my flickr photostream, you’ve seen that the first new bag design of 2009, the Zugster handlebar bag is underway. I knocked off a couple of quick non-functional prototypes on Sunday to get a feel for putting them together and to experiment with how I’d like to make them.
