Any other places to buy other than trek, or are their similar bento boxes to the botanger one for the trek speed concept?

As others have posted, yes, we make a good pack that will bolt to the bosses on your speed concept. And here's a pic of a Speedpack 480D mounted on an impressive 7-series speed concept:

I have had a bag from Fuel Belt for a few years. Aero and fits what I need it to fit (flat kit). If I could do it again, I would go Dark Speed works because he is on the forum all the time. No comments on DSW quality, but my Fuel Belt one has held up great.

We planned to have the Speedpack 483 out late this month, but it looks like it will be just a couple more weeks. All is good on our end, but we're waiting on some tooling. But the delay should be minor, more details on our most recent update on our

Great product and support - they contacted me to let me know of a free enhancement
I hadn't complained or anything, was completely satisfied with the "unenhanced" version
Even more satisfied now of course
Terrific company

Same here. Looking to buy one. Not sure if I want to pick up a 480 or wait for the 483. However, not sure what I am waiting for. More info would help. Thanks.

It's not a great photo, but
here
is pic of a prototype Speedpack 483 after undergoing some testing on a 'test mule' bike. Note, of course, that the pack is designed for a horizontal top tube, as is on most TT and tri bikes. (And we'll have better hi-res photos up on our website right after the 483's release.)

so is the 483 basically the same as the old one except without the front stem straps, or is there something different about the attachment?

Thanks for asking.
No, the Speedpack 483 has a totally different shape, it's designed to sit right in the airflow with a minimal aero penalty (the Speedpack 480 is meant to 'hide'--aerodynamically--behind your stem, so it has more of a 'truncated' front). But the 483 has a full aero profile, actually directly derived from a NACA low-drag symmetrical airfoil.
But the main thing about the 483 is that it's pretty much the only aero bento-type pack in existence that's able to
securely
mount to tri "superbikes", new-generation TT bikes without standard stems. So the strap system on the 483 is different, it's a new system that holds on to your top tube with
zero
rotation or slipping. Here is some text from our description of the Speedpack 483 (it's not yet on our website, but it will be very soon):
"The Speedpack 483 is our newest aero top tube-mounted fuel and gear pack. With it's versatile advanced mounting system, the 483 will fit nearly any bike on the road. But the real advantage of the Speedpack 483 is that it's designed especially for new-generation superbikes with proprietary or integrated stem/aerobar systems. The Speedpack 483's advanced new strap system allows the pack to mount securely to your top tube
without
attaching to a stem or steerer tube. And the pack's full aero profile minimizes aero drag, even without hiding behind a conventional stem.
The Speedpack 483 is also a great choice if your tri bike has aero cable routing, cabling that enters the frame right behind the stem. The Speedpack 483 can mount anywhere on your top tube behind the cables and it's new strap system means that you won't need to route any straps around your cables or your steerer tube. And since the Speedpack 483 doesn't need to attach to a stem, the 483 is also a great choice if you run a slammed or super low stem and just don't have the real estate to run straps around your steerer."

Thanks for the response! I already own the old one and use it on my road bike. Really enjoy the product! My only complaint is that the velcro hooks sometimes scrape the inside of my knee a bit. Bit it works extremely well. I keep one of those Park Tools MT-1 multitools inside between the inner hard plastic liner and the outer fabric. Fits perfectly and is always easy to get to!
Looking forward to the release of the 483 for use on the Shiv Tri!

The Speedpack 480 = approx 480cc.
The Speedpack 483 = approx 483cc. It's narrower, a tiny bit lower, and more tapered than the 480, but its also about 1" longer.
