Thanks! Once you've made a saddlebag or two, you really appreciate the amount of work that goes into the Rivendell (and Carradice and Acorn, etc., etc.) bags. It's not as simple as you think, and there are a lot of little details that make a big difference in usability. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
