i had been looking forever for somebody to make me a seat bag (not quite the same thing), and then the solution hit me:
army surplus. Anything and everything you could probably want in the way of pouches and bags.
I ended up getting a sweet East German "rain" camo magazine pouch made of waterproof nylon. works great attached from the belt loops with some double-sided velcro from the hardware store, which I also use to attach my pump to my frame. If I wasn't so lazy, I would sew on some loops on the top so it would hang better.
Anyways, army surplus has tons of map cases, bread bags, and ammo pouches that would work well as frame bags, although you would probably have to do a bit of modification if you wanted a custom fit.
oh, did I mention cheap?
