tade qui slicker (frame pad 1-1/8 size + sacoche) | Custom oversized design with a hidden sacoche inside the frame pad
Carry a sacoche while preventing handlebar interference. A unique item filled with tade qui's playful spirit and practicality.
A frame pad that protects the top tube. And from within it, a sacoche appears. "Slicker" was born from this somewhat unexpected idea.
Envisioning everyday rides, such as stopping at an interesting shop or buying something at a convenience store, this product features a unique structure that stores a tri-fold sacoche inside the frame pad. It's a unique tade qui product that can be taken out only when needed.
Originally designed for 1-inch top tube fixie bikes, this item is a custom oversized version made to solve the "handlebar/bar end and top tube interference problem" that often occurs with gravel bikes and monster cross bikes with high handlebars.
It's not just a protective pad, but a handmade item with an unparalleled concept that protects the bike while also providing storage and transport functionality.

Many people might wonder what this item is for when they first see it.
However, when attached to gravel bikes or monster cross bikes with high handlebars, its purpose becomes clear. It's perfect for city riding and detours, as it prevents contact with the top tube while also serving as a sacoche when needed.
It's surprisingly convenient, especially for those who frequently stop at convenience stores, bakeries, or coffee shops. It's not just an item focused on efficiency, but rather a tade qui product designed for enjoying the "playful freedom" of cycling. I highly recommend this item to anyone drawn to such slightly unconventional ideas.
