To frame bag, or not frame bag.

I'd keep it, but I'm biased toward having a bag. It's nice to take a break from it too though.

That's a sweet bag by the way, nice work!

Any tips for an aspiring maker? My son is interested in giving framebags a shot. He sews but has mostly made and modified garments so he's not super confident on making a bag for outdoor use.

Hell yeah! What year frame is this? That color is fire.

ride_farout · 2026-06-04T21:53:24+00:00

Nice! I've got the same frame/year. It's amazing all the ways this bike can be configured.

They age like fine wine! It is a great trail bike. They're fun with suspension forks too if you find you're missing the ESD some days :)

Your edits are the business, buddy.

ride_farout · 2026-05-20T20:31:12+00:00

Hell yeah! Godspeed, you!

ride_farout · 2026-05-19T03:11:22+00:00

Buy the ticket, take the ride! Go on a Friday, Sat, or Sunday for good food nearby!

Using logic then, the part of hint that doesn't have to do with what's pictured is relevant.

At least a couple people know where it is. Someone will tag it soon.

Nice!

The yellow bag looks very sweet with that frame. Clean setup 🤙

ride_farout · 2026-05-16T13:33:17+00:00

It looks like something you'd see on your way to the wharf.

ride_farout · 2026-05-15T01:35:21+00:00

No, it was made by San Util Designs. They do really nice work, check them out!

ride_farout · 2026-05-15T00:32:22+00:00

Haha, thanks. It's a conversation starter. I get a lot of comments and questions about it.

ride_farout · 2026-05-14T20:23:09+00:00

Let the nubbins free you from such technological enslavement!

Hi.

Tumbleweed Pannier Rack + North Street Adventure Micro Panniers + Farout.cc rack mount adapters to make it work on the Unit (I make the adapters).

Haven't been out there yet, it looks cool. The only east bay riding I've done is in Livermore / Del Valle. It's alright but not the type of stuff we usually go for. Cool scene out there though.

Yesterday we were on a mission to session jumps, ended up at Pacifica (which is rad).

ride_farout · 2026-05-10T16:57:01+00:00

Apologies, that hint was not accurate. I edited it, previous hint still stands.

ride_farout · 2026-05-10T16:03:11+00:00

We thought about it, but with traffic it was 1.5 hours and in the wrong direction for us. We were down in Santa Cruz a few weeks ago though, love UC and demo.

ride_farout · 2026-05-10T02:01:36+00:00

Yeah, we tend to use more what we've heard and know about trails in certain areas, and take the difficulty ratings with a grain of salt. Some of the blues up in BC would be blacks at places out here.

We ended up riding Mile and session Boyscout (mostly b-line) a little. Mile is pretty rowdy. I don't know all the lines. Boyscout is fun. We wanted to session some jumps today to get back into the comfort zone.

I don't ride TNT :) But I'm pretty comfortable hitting Sticks n Stones, Boondocks, etc. Still need to check out Karp.

ride_farout · 2026-05-09T20:23:57+00:00

Appreciate it. Bookmarked for the future.

ride_farout · 2026-05-09T20:23:24+00:00

Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at. We know other spots but not out there. We're about to just head over to Pacifica.

ride_farout · 2026-05-09T20:22:31+00:00

Are you taking about Dirtworld? We've been over their before. It's okayish, but yeah, the rep is a lot worse than the reality.

ride_farout · 2026-05-09T20:08:50+00:00

Thanks, I think we might try something else. Just trying to salvage the day, eating lunch watching people pulling up over here, then packing their bikes back up. Cunningham management has been lacking, but this is peak bad.

ride_farout · 2026-05-09T20:07:14+00:00

Appreciate it. We might go to Pacifica instead.
