Another Carradice bag that deserves consideration is the Cadet. Capacious without the smaller outer pockets (It's the guts of a Nelson or Nelson longflap) and reasonably priced. Accepts outside straps for tying wet/extra gear to.
The Barley (11" x 6") has 7 liters of space and retails for $109.00 The Cadet (14" x 10") has 13 liters of space and retails for $85.00. And for good measure, the Junior, 8 liters for $74.00 but no provision for exterior straps. http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/carradice.asp ________________________________ From: Patrick in VT <[email protected]> To: RBW Owners Bunch <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, March 12, 2010 10:01:21 AM Subject: [RBW] Re: Which bag?
