PICTURE PERFECT

Our PicturePerfect photographic template process makes measuring for a custom frame bag easy!

Two simple photos - taken in accordance with the instructions below - allow us to build your custom frame bag with the tailored fit Bedrock is known for.

After placing your custom frame bag order, simply follow the below PicturePerfect instructions and you'll be ready to roll!

STEP 1 of 3: PREP YOUR BIKE

  • Grab your bike and a tape measure or yardstick. Use a measure at least 18” long.

  • Tape the measure to the bike frame’s top tube, on the drive side. Make sure the measure is legible and doesn't obscure any inside edges of the frame triangle. Also prevent the measure from obscuring bolts or fittings that straps should avoid on the outside of the triangle.

  • If we're building a full-triangle bag that uses straps for attachment, you can leave bottle cages installed.

  • If we’re building a frame bag that uses our Partial Bolt-On option, remove any bottle cages or anything else inside the triangle; so that we can better see the placement of bottle boss bolts. Reinstall the bolts partway after removing the cages, so we can locate them.

  • If we're building a partial-triangle bag, leave your cages installed, with bottles in them.

  • If you're going to be using other bags with your frame bag, install these on your bike so we can see where the straps lie. (We always leave room for our Dakota and Kayenta Tank Bag straps.) IMPORTANT: If your tank bag is bolt-on instead of strapped, remove the tank bag so we can see where those mounting bolts are, and avoid them!

STEP 2 of 3: TAKE TWO PHOTOS

  • THE BETTER YOUR PHOTOS, THE BETTER YOUR FRAME BAG WILL FIT. Observe the excellent examples above.

  • Place your bike, drive side facing out, against a light-colored wall or background, in a well-lit area. Make sure the bike is vertical. Make sure the crankarms don't obscure any of the triangle.

  • Make sure your camera is configured to shoot a photo at least 3600 pixels wide. Shoot in landscape orientation (photo is wider than tall).

  • IMPORTANT! Sit or crouch on the ground, about 8 feet from your bike, making sure the camera is nice and “square” with the plane of the frame. Your entire bike should be in the photo, including both wheels/tires. Orient your camera lens roughly in the center of the frame triangle. Take the photo; check to make sure it isn't blurry and the measure is legible when zoomed in.

  • Turn your bike around, so the non-drive side is facing out. Move the measure to the non-drive side of the frame, and take a second photo from the same vantage point as the first. Check for quality.

STEP 3 of 3: SEND AWAY!

  • Send both photos in high-resolution (at least 3600 pixels wide) JPG format to info@bedrockbags.com and include your name and order number. We will take a look at what you've sent, and will confirm that the photos are okay, or let you know if we need something different. Once we have acceptable photos, we’ll build a perfect-fit frame bag for your bike and send it your way!
