The Cache Tank Bag straps very securely to your bike’s top tube and provides easy-access storage for your phone, snacks, repair kits, or other small items. It’s a great choice for both daily rides and as part of a larger bikepacking kit. Unlike most other tank bags, the Cache is packed with practical features for life on the trail.
FEATURES = BENEFITS:
Very secure attachment to top tube = no flopping or rattling
No stem attachment = can’t be wrenched around when steering, and allows for independent positioning on TT
Fully padded structure = maintains shape when empty, allows for easy one-hand access, protects contents
Internal padded phone pocket = protects your thousand-dollar pocket computer from other contents and prevents it from rattling on rough terrain
Closure-flap mesh pocket = a good place to stash snacks, trash, or other small items
Repositionable, trimmable, extra long front strap = allows for greatest flexibility of install locations, and works with everything from small frame tubes to large head tube gussets
Sewn using waterproof materials = highly weather-resistant, your cargo is protected
Truly artisan-level design and build quality = beautiful gear that lasts with elevated function and reliability

“Your Cache is such an improvement over my previous tank bag, I needed a second one for my hardtail.” -Jerry V, Oregon
"You are a master at your craft!" -Chad C, Colorado
"The quality and attention to detail in your work is amazing!" -Tim W, California

VIDEO: See above for video instructions.
STEP-BY-STEP:
Installation is straightforward - simply secure both straps tightly around top tube. The rear strap is fixed; the front strap can be located in either slot to accommodate different frame shapes and sizes.
The forward strap is left long to allow for use with large frame gussets, where the strap needs to pass around both top tube and down tube.
Once you’re certain of your positioning, you may trim the excess strap (if any) to keep things clean. Trim ONLY in the velcro-only areas of the strap. Do NOT trim the areas that are reinforced with rubberized fabric.

What I do, why I do it, and the way it’s done:
I’ve been working in the bicycle industry since 1997 and hand-building gear for bicycles since 2010. A lot has changed over the years, but what’s remained the same is my motivation. I’m still here, still innovating, still building, and still believing in American craftsmanship.
My process is human-scale and analog, not corporate and digital. I’m not intentionally a throwback; that's just the way life makes sense to me. I can’t help but push back on a modern age obsessed with technology, externalization, and efficiency at all costs… a world that increasingly feels inhuman. Working with my hands and conversing with my customers is good for me, good for customers, provides purpose, and supports my family. I count that as a win.
If you feel like reading, here's a proper manifesto.
