Many years ago I purchased a Lowsaddle LF that had been made in a limited run of dark forest green. The ad copy at the time indicated that this was a one-time thing, a stopgap measure because the black was temporarily out of stock; and that when these bags were gone they were gone. A good warning against overzealous bagmatching if ever there was one. I wanted a saddlebag, and needed a Lowsaddle for my bike size, so I bit the bullet. Today that bag has faded amazingly, beautifully; has weathered daily travel in all climates and taken small repairs with dental floss (use the waxed stuff, it's easier to sew with); it carries my lunch, a couple of books and a sweater easily. True to Riv's word, there has been and remains nothing else out there to match this dye lot with. And nearly 14 years later, it remains no. big. deal. Good bags is good bags. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com.
