FWIW: Alternatives to integrated loops that don't require big bolt-on carriers: neither work as well as loops but might be preferable to jettisoning an otherwise favorite saddle. I prefer #2 to losing my beloved original issue Flites and even prefer it to #1.
#1 VO bolt-on loops are still available: https://velo-orange.com/products/velo-orange-saddle-loops #2 You can simply strap your bag to the saddle rails; I've done this with my Flites for Sackvilles (both Mediums) and Carradice Juniors, Nelson LFs, and Camper LFs, and carried over 30 lb in the larger bags with no problems, unless a bit of thigh-rub is a problem (it doesn't bother me). I wrap the straps around the rails from the outside of the rails: from inside of bag, around outside of rails, back to inside of bag. > On Friday, December 15, 2023 at 3:53:33 AM UTC-8 modemm...@gmail.com > wrote: > >> Looking for a cheap saddle with proper bag loops - the new Rivendell one >> or perhaps one of the V-O ones that have loops.
