Hehe, the train of sales around here is endless. I'm probably one cog in half of them! On Monday, December 21, 2020 at 12:16:56 PM UTC-8 lconley wrote: > Didn't you buy it from me? > > Laing > > On Monday, December 21, 2020 at 3:14:18 PM UTC-5 Joe Bernard wrote: > >> That's a nice saddle!

Thanks for all the help. Sounds like I'm good with a Berthoud and Sackville Bag connection (Top Priority.) I have no Carradice bags to speak of, so that won't be an issue. Very curious to see how a BagsXBird medium Goldback attaches, not trying to do a lot of jerryrigging with heavier

This is true of Carradice specifically, I've had a couple with comically short straps that were a pain in the patooty to work with. Longer straps are the ticket there, although this doesn't really matter for the OP. Sackvilles fit Brooks and Berthoud. On Sunday, December 20, 2020 at 1:12:37

Forgot to add that, hell, you don't even need loops, as long as your saddle is high enough above your tire. I've carried 30 lb and heavier loads in Carradices and Baggins and Sackville bags strapped directly to the rails of my original edition Flites. Note: Strapping bags to saddle rails means

FWIW, one can make most saddlebag straps work with most mounting loops, be these integrated with the saddle or bolt on, simply by using longer straps. I've done this umpteen times (umpteen comes after 19 and before 20). Toe straps work well, at least leather ones, but there are all sorts of long,

The two Aravis in my possession have a spacing of 75mm between the insides of the slots for the bag loops and 112mm between the outsides. On the B17 saddles I have, the same measurements are 96mm and 126mm. On a Rivet Pearl saddle I have, the bag loops are spaced almost exactly the same
