Bag for behind the seat post, under the seat stays? odd sized bag
Are there any bags that would fit here.
There is just so much space, I want something for there, it would be great I think for tools and stuff just riding around, maybe a snack or something,
or maybe just some good ideas what to do with this,

I haven't found stock bags designed to fit there but I've been using small triangular seat bags strapped into place, usually upside down velcroed to the top so it can't fall and tied hard to the seat tube. It's probably a funny market to try and fill, there's a huge variety of shapes in there and there must be a reticence to design a bag that can jam between tire and frame on bikes without fenders.

Well I have just that type of bag. Its mounted on by 80's DiamondBack Mtn bike and I've had the bag most of that time. I just checked and its was made by Specialized. Don't know if they still make them. Its serves as the place for spare tube/tire levers and change for 25 years now. Most of the bags I see now for mtn biking are mounted on the frame in the main triangle.

I don't know about a bag, but I use the space behind the seat tube to mount my Topeak Morph pump.
Jandd still makes some odd sized bags that may be re-purposed there. . . you;d have to get some to try them out.

you mean like these (from epic designs)?
you may want to do a search in google or any of the others.
as far as I know most are semi- or completely made to measure.

yeah, we use the frame triangle for a full size frame pump and a couple of water bottles (big and small).
I keep thinking of perhaps filling the rest up with bag, but then we take along more books etc. i.e. more weight, plus, i don't think I like what framebags do with sidewinds.
(never tried it though...)

I have an old 80's vintage Cannondale tire sock that I've used behind the seat tube before. Long enough to hold a mini pump, tube, snacks, and side pockets for tools.
