i think someone suggested it maybe Lekka because of Lekka branding in previous thread.

I just searched OP's posts and seems like most of his posts are regarding Lekka stuff

Typically if you use a logo on an item like this it is polite to at least ask to use it.
The forum would rather promote its sponsors than banned members.

I don't think either of those things are unreasonable.

now if people want some CBF bags - hummm we could give it some thought (although they would need to be at least as good as the ones currently offered in the market and that feels like a load of work!! Lets face it the SS, Salix, GM, Newbery, Blank Bats, Affinity, Red Ink etc bags are all very good)

i personally agree with ff, there isnt a bag on the market i believe fills my exact criteria. plus ive seen many a suggestion for duffles with a chest strap, and non yet exist. cbf could indeed fill a hole in the bag market.

use the forum to spitball ideas, make a cad drawing, and if people like it, take deposits to make a prototype, and then once perfect, order in for the people interested.

Frankly, if you want to take this type of approach, either use Kickstarter or indiegogo. At least there is some level of protection/scrutiny in that route.

As for religious festivals taking priorities lol where do you think most if the softs come from.

Glad you like it but you do seem to be wanting to make few modifications.

Color scheme just not my cup of tea.

it does look spacious but is it easy to organise.

Thanks for your replies everyone, i would like to reply to them all but I'm not into writing a whole page epic and replying individually.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing we all can agree, i possibly should have asked forum owners for the use of the logo but in saying that, my method of thinking was that the bag was not being sold commercially and was for my own personal use while still promoting CB at the same time so i thought it would be ok.

The cost of the bag i have stated in other threads on this bag but all in was $250 USD including shipping and personalized logos which i think is reasonable especially with the size and DHL postage.

It is a very spacious bag obviously with the size. It isn't that hard to organise but you do need to have a correct way of packing it as if it is lop sided and weight to one side it can drag along one side but this is the same with any bag on the market.

This is the  bag i spoke of in JUNE and JULY, The photos taken in those topics were from the factory, i only received the bag yesterday.

I am making some modifications which i think will prolong the life of the bag. It needs an extra wheel as it only has 2 and even after taking it to training last  night you can see some scuffing so i plan to add an extra wheel or 2 which i think will stop the dragging. I also will be taking the plastic bases out of my other bags and attaching Velcro to them to create some walls to help the bag keep its shape

Hope that answers most of your questions about the bag

I'm sure B3 wouldn't mind having their logo put on this custom bag by someone without asking... Or would they?

B3 sell their own bags though, CB don't.
