re-designin

Its easy to get caught up and not take the time to try to improve things. So I spent a few days last week on the following:
Super Twinkie - It's still gigantic and not for 98% of my customers. but hey, "it" lives on...


 psyched on how it came out, much improved top pocket and elimination of the extension seam and stress point, mostly though the improvements were to make the patterns more precise and the bags come out more consistent and save headaches.


next - gas tank.
the Small gas tank is no more... I was only getting 1 in 25 orders for it anyway, so the new tank is a bit shorter than the old medium, but taller.  The 2 1" straps bar tacked to the bottom have been consolidated into a single reinforced 2" strap which will give more compatibility with frames with head tube gussets. Also I'm adding a little flap to cover the gap at the front and fully lining the bags with white fabric.  sweet...


mucho mejor..
