PaRtZ Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Ok its like a saddle, but with a toolbox inside it!!It'd be great for long distance treks or for cross country rides. OK a bit daft for trials but you could design it so it could fit a few mini tools in like P.R.K , hex spanner thing, Tyre levers, allan keys multitools, chain tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexxx Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Loving the paint drawing lol, but how would it be kept shut? what if you go over a bump and it opens and you sit back down on it be a bit ouchy?Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Cox Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 make it so you have to push it down before it comes up (like car ashtrays)Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Isn't that just like the little strap-on, zip-up pouches you get that have velcro wraps that attach it to the two rails of your seat, and then hang off the rear underside of it? Meaning you can actually have a padded seat, and not get anally penetrated by a flap of plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onza Kieron Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Would be good for storing your faithful piece of tar when you don't want it in your trousers... I know most of you don't use tar but always handy if things go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussion Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 It would be handy if I had a seatpost to attach it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipkickbs Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 As long as the topic continues with the retarded ideas, i'll add mine. If you've ever found yourself somewhere without a pump wishing you had remembered one................. [attachmentid=3348] Its a new 'handlepump' (handlebars mixed with a pump if you didn't get it) I'm a genius. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) If you had a few spanners in there it would piss you off what with the jiggling and stuff (Edit: Yep, just noticed CB's post:)), and not to mention the embaressment of when the think opened up when your riding and all you're tools fly off everywhere.

ben_travis Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 why not take an old seat, cut a hole in it and try what ur saying?without these ideas we wouldnt get anywhere anyway. All ideas start off like this. Im sure a LONG LONG LONG time ago no-one would have thought about carrying a bag around under your seat to carry your stuff. But on XC bikes its popular now-a-days ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Not really cos thats just plain awkward to get to. My idea has much more accessYou don't get seapost on saddles the two rails (grey bits) are what clamp onto the seat postWill, trust you to think of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Think about the width of most seats on bicycles excluding those HUGE granny ass ones with mega springs.They are usually only a bit of shaped plastic or something a few mm's thick with rails strapped on and padding helt between the plastic and what ever the cover is made of...... hardly much space to fit a tool box there. You'd have to make a fairly thick seat body to fit anything more than a few allen key's.I'd rather throw my tools in a bag and put that on my back.

Your idea would be ok except the bars would have to be perfectly straight i.e. wouldn't work with riser bars. Also handlebars are quite thin so I don't know if pump internals would fit in them.

Christophe' Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I think the saddle idea would be good for tour de france riders that didnt want to lose time in stopping.Put some chemicals in it ....like when your camping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean come on, seriously, that would be a shocking idea!I think the saddle idea would be good for tour de france riders that didnt want to lose time in stopping.They don't tend to stop anyway, they have support vehicles. Mechanics have been known to hang out the windows and adjust a rear mech whilst the cyclist is still riding!!

Ash-Kennard Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 if you need a poopie, just open the flap and away you go thats just silly, if you really had to go, take the seatpost out the seattube and go down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
