The innertube department has always been a bit of a lost cause here at the shop. It will typically stay organized for a week at most, before reverting to something that resembles a schizophrenic's pantry (food often finds it's way into the many compartments). This time of year, things slow down just a bit, giving us time to tackle these types of issues.

Custom SFCA Tool Roll
I've always like the concept and simple look of a traditional tool roll as opposed to a seat bag. There are plenty of them out there, some surprisingly pricey (Rapha, Mopha, Tracko, etc). It's something that seems so easy to make, that I thought I'd give it a shot, even with my less-than-average skills with a needle and thread.

I grabbed some spare canvas material that I had from a 1970's military surplus duffle bag and turned on some tunes.

A couple hours later, It was finished.


Complete with S.F.C.A. branding. I'm curious to see how it holds up on the road, but I think it should be just fine. For my first attempt, I'm fairly satisfied.

Fastened to the seat rails with a toe strap.
