Mystery Boxes: Post Here

When you receive your boxes, post pictures here and any feedback. I should be able to identify most fabrics with detailed pictures. I’d like to know what you think of the variety of fabrics and value.

Mystery Box Frame Bag for Full Suspension Bike

Was stoked to score one of the recent Mystery Boxes! First project from the fabric is this frame bag for my Transition Spur.

Features:

  • Added some taper to the gusset (wide up front and skinnier at the back). This just gives me a bit more extra room
  • Map pocket with some organization. Great for stashing my multi tool and dynaplug.
  • Big main pocket
  • YKK #5 Vislon Zippers... I swear by these zippers!
  • Plastic stiffener on all three sides

I am pretty knew to MYOG so this project still kicked my ass.

  • Accounting for new dimensions after doing the zipper
  • For some reason the zipper garage kicked my ass
  • Tight corners and bends are hard for me to sew straight and with a consistent seam allowance.

I actually built this thinking it would be a "test run" and i'd sew it in a fabric I like better, but it actually turned out pretty decent so I think i'll just run with it! Works out well for an upcoming trip I have with this bike. The camo matches the color scheme of the bike.

I started the project around 6:30 PM and finished at 2:00 AM. (had to redo a panel and test fit). Anyone else stay up to a ridiculous hour finishing these things?

$50 Mystery Boxes

The boxes will contain various RBTR fabrics. Average savings=65%. The lowest savings were 50%; the highest were 75%. All of it should be 1st-quality fabrics with about 4 lbs total. Unlike other Grab Bags, the fabric is completely random, mostly not pack fabrics, and the shipping will be added based on your location, so it’s not exclusive to CONUS.

✅ I have 10 $50 Mystery Boxes available to the first 10 people who comment “in”. I will reply, confirm, and send you the order details. Comment even after #10 is confirmed in case someone doesn’t pay their invoice, as sometimes happens with these posts.

All invoices and boxes will come through RBTR. We are looking to make these boxes a new product on our website, so all feedback from anyone who purchases them is welcome.

Quick grab bag test project

Didn’t have a lot of time but wanted to use a little of the Dyneema since I haven’t worked with it before. So made a little trail wallet, and then had my husband paint on it to see how it would take.
