The Build,
documented.

Highways. Backroads. Storms. Coffee stops. The Road Glide tells me what's working. The bag has to earn its place on every ride — or it doesn't ship.

First real bag in my hands. Heavy moment. Some details landed. Some need work. That's exactly what V1 is for — to fail loudly so V2 can fly.

I didn't want the cheapest. I wanted the people who'd argue with me about a stitch. The right partner doesn't say yes to everything. They push back.

Forty drafts. Forty rejections. Forty lessons. The bag took shape — but only by killing every design that didn't survive a real test ride.

Before mood-boards and renders, I sat down with pen and paper. Every pocket had to earn its place. Every strap had to solve a real moment from the saddle.

It started on a long ride when nothing worked. Wrong bag. Wrong fit. Wrong everything. By the time I got home I had a list — and a problem worth solving.
