Waxwing Porteur
Porteur bags are large capacity front bags based on the bikes and racks of French newspaper deliverymen from the mid-century. Porteur bags are great when you just know you want lots of room to carry stuff. I prefer a larger bag in the cold months when I'm likely to be carrying multiple layers of clothes, more food, and other just-in-case extras.
Sizes (excluding exterior pockets):
Demi-porteur:
10" w x 9" h x 8" d/ 11.7L $320
Porteur:
12" w x 9.5" h x 9" d /16L $330
(Porteur configurations can vary a bit, so outside of the above sizes, be in touch about a custom size or design)

Waxwing-Weigle Sportif
This innovative bag was designed by Peter Weigle and brought to life in a collaboration between Peter and Waxwing Bag Co. Peter’s goal: have a shape that lightened up the bag both visually and in weight and didn’t bury his lovely racks while maintaining the usefulness of the map case found on standard bags. Lesser-used items like tools and a spare tube sit at the bottom of the bag, keeping the weight low and centered. Jackets, food and other frequently needed stuff goes in the upper portion of the bag.
Short: 10" w x 8" h x 5" d $270
Medium: 10" w x 9.5" h x 5" d $280
Tall: 10" w x 11" h x 5" d $290
The bag features side sleeves, large pleated front pocket, elastic closures, D-rings for carrying strap, backstop sleeve and a map case. Elastic closures and inner flap round out the design. Choose your color, hardware and elastic and we'll get your bag on it's way to you. Please note: Waxed and xPac fabrics also available--Go here for specific color and fabric choices.!
Waxwing Small Rackless Front Bag
This innovative bag allows easy and quick storage on the go without the complications of racks and decaleurs. Mounted via cam buckle straps to the handlebar and supported by adjustable cordage to the brake hoods and head tube. Features include a flat front pocket and expandable cinch-sleeve to add capacity when a little more room is needed.
Size: 8" wide, by 4" deep and 5" high (2.6 liters) $135
Elastic closures on pockets. The top is held closed by pulling elastic cord over the stem and works best with threadless stems that have mount bolt--smooth traditional stems don't hold the elastic as well.
