Zlogblog Reviews Dime Bag!

2009-10-23T23:30:44-05:00

I have collected various hip pouches and bags throughout the last couple years and this one has been the most practical by far. This Austin, Texas made pouch, straps onto a belt, can hold a U-lock, and has 3 different compartments for all your organizational desires. It is fairly flat & isn’t as bulky as some other fanny-pack inspired designs. The Dime Bag is versatile, I personally have been using it as a tool/tube bag that I can throw in my backpack or strap onto my belt if I need to rush out the door. The quality is on par with a Re-Load or Freight bags. I am very happy with it and suggest you pick one up (only $40)

Thanks Zach!

Busy busy

Oops. Haven’t posted in awhile, but don’t fret! I’ve just been too busy with the rest of the business to post. Working on getting orders filled and get some new stuff designed. I’ve got several new things to add to the catalog, so watch for that in the next week or 2.

I’ve run Goldsprints at a couple of events in town, and that’s always fun. Contact me through the site or Facebook or call me if you have my number about setting up Goldsprints at your party or event.

Watch for the incredible first issue of The Dropout including an interview with yours truly! They’re throwing a launch party at Fast Folks on Nov. 1. Be there or be forever regretful.

That’s really all I have for now. Lame, I know. Gotta get back to those orders.

Peddler Opening and Goldsprints

2009-09-14T10:32:21-05:00

The grand opening party for The Peddler was a lot of fun. AJ is such a great guy, it’s really good to see him doing this well. He’s also got a great team of guys there to help out and make The Peddler a cornerstone of the community. Plus they have a console Ms. Pacman. They invited me to run some goldsprints and that was a lot of fun. Had a couple father vs. son races and plenty of the usual grudge matches.

But now the weekend is over and it’s back to work! Look for pants on the site real soon, and we’ve got a couple new products in the works. It’s gonna be a busy month or so at the shop!

Mostly pants.

2009-09-08T10:57:30-05:00

It’s that time of year to start shopping for the perfect pants for the cool season since you chopped all your pants from last year into jorts for the summer. I’m taking orders for custom pants at only $60 per pair. I haven’t added them to the catalog just because I’m still ironing out a few little details and still doing some testing. I currently have indigo denim, but I should have some black denim in a week or so. Contact me to schedule a time to come by for measurements and discuss the details of your new custom made pants!

Gold sprints for the last Fab Friday was a lot of fun. Pretty much just a bunch of friends hanging out, racing, drinking beer and getting pumped to DragonForce. If you’ve got a party, race, benefit, whatever that you’d like to have GoldSprints at, contact me for details.

Keep on rockin’.

Fab Friday and Gold Sprints!

2009-09-02T09:52:22-05:00

Looks like we’re on for some gold sprints after the Fab Friday race. We’ll be setup on the stage in back of Fast Folks, so be sure and hang out for that. I’m not sure what the prizes might be, but at very least we can do $5 entry and fastest male and female times win part of the pot. So come race after the race! It’s gonna be fun.

The Rumors are True!

2009-08-18T18:55:42-05:00

While the 42 Below Goldsprint series is over, the setup is now mine. I’m already talking to a couple of bars about doing a monthly race and I’m going to be available for events and parties. If you’re interested in doing goldsprints at your party, after party and/or event, you can contact me via email or just call me if you have my number. Also, with my new projector and projector screen, I’m going to start doing bike-in movies again. I’m thinking I’ll start with Six-String Samurai. It’s a fun little movie set in a post-apocalyptic world where rock and roll rules and Vegas needs a new king. Keep your eyes here or on atxbs.com for news.

I’ve had a couple of questions about ordering bags. Of course you can order the bags directly on the site, but you can also email/call me about getting a custom bag. There’s even some features and colors that I don’t have listed on the site yet. If you’re interested or have questions, drop me a line and let’s get started on your new bag!

Cheers,
Russell S.

Bicycle Film Fest and the Deluxe Bag

2009-08-10T11:52:50-05:00

I think, after much sleep and fluids, I’m recovered from BFF. We had a blast at the all-day event Saturday watching the crazy mad skills of all the riders. We launched our line of messenger bags in Austin making us the sole manufacturer of messenger bags in ATX. The response to the new line was great and we’re ready for the orders to start rolling in. It was a lot of fun showing off the new deluxe messenger bag. People kinda freaked out. I mean, the thing is made out of pockets and comes apart into more pieces than bags normally do. Pictures of the deluxe bag will be posted in the next couple days.

In other news, the 42 Below Goldsprints at Scoot Inn for the after-party was absolutely NUTS! Back to back to back races for almost 3 hours and the competition was crazy. Everyone had a great time and no one threw up on the stage. If you missed the party, you really missed out. But I guess there’s always next year.

More shit comin’ at ya on the weekly. Keep checking back.

Here we go!

2009-08-04T10:21:56-05:00

I'm gonna call it good enough. More products and pictures on the way, but I have to concentrate on getting ready for BFF here in Austin. We're going to be vending for the big event on Saturday then rushing over to Scoot Inn to get setup for goldsprints at 9. We'll have our messenger bags available to check out and we'll be taking pre-orders so be prepared. We'll also have some shirts, including a new design, and various other bags, toob pads and caps. Look for us. We'll be the table with a big crowd of people throwing money at us... *fingers crossed*

Austin BFF Schedule

new site; new shite

2009-07-29T11:08:25-05:00

So we’ve pretty much got this newest site all together. Take a look around and see what you think. We can add new products super easy and already have. Check out the Bag collection. We’re making bags of various sizes and function with the urban cyclist in mind. Sizes vary from the Nickel Bag (our smallest belt pouch) to the gigantic Que Pee (the 2600 cubic inch messenger bag) and include such bags as our Action Pack (a more traditional zippered belt pouch) and the Holster (leg pouch a la Mad Max). We’ve also added the New Skool Toob Pads which have the padding inclosed between the shell and a bandana lining. It’s pretty sweet. We’ve got a couple other products in the works that will be up on the site real soon.
