First big bag purge of the year. I recently cleaned out some closets and i’m embarrassed at the number of excessive bags that i’ve accumulated (both bike and other types), so this is my first attempt at moving some of them along. Prices include shipping and paypal fees (as long as you live in the US). Please email me directly with any questions, if you’re reading via a smart-phone, you may need to switch to the desktop version (link at the bottom of your browser), to reply directly.
If you want to look at all the pictures you can start here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/minhi/sets/72157632610369600/ Berthoud 704 Bag and Rack: $250 This is the smaller of the two Berthoud Saddlebags the GB704, capacity is about 7L and measures 220mm W x 170mm H X 250mm D. I originally bought both sizes thinking i’d swap between the two bags and two bikes but i’ve had the larger one mounted/used 99.9% of the time. I’ve used this smaller one a handful of times (sunny, no rain). The rack has never been mounted as both bags came with a mount and i only used the one. The rack is quite beefy and makes carrying heavier items a little more manageable as it provides a platform from below to support the load. The rack comes with a shim to fit a 27.2 seat-post, if you have a different size you’ll need to come up with your own shim. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2181.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2182.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2183.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2184.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2185.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2186.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2187.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2188.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2189.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2190.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2191.JPG Baggins Boxy Bag: $75, Old style boxy handlebar bag, designed for the F15 handlebar rack. this is patched as a Baggins. the bag is faded and well loved, but no holes or tears, there are some grease stains in various locations on the bag. The F15 is not included, so you’ll need to get one of those if you don’t have one. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2160.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2161.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2162.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2163.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2164.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2165.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2166.JPG Baggins Handlebar Bag: $95, I believe this is the pre-cursor to the hobo bag, it looks a little smaller then a true hobo bag and the pockets on the front are different, this one has 1 big pocket instead of two separate ones on the front, with a single flap. Some light grease stains on the bottom where it got close to the tire. Otherwise in very good condition, the leather is still really dark. You can use this without a rack or decaleur (and i don’t think using a rack would actually help) the bag sways as you pedal--but there are d-rings on the corners in the front where you could secure it with some twine, will work with drop bars the best. You can get this to work with alba and moustache bars but it will require some creative arrangements with twine to the brake levers to secure it. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2167.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2168.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2169.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2170.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2171.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2172.JPG Carradice Saddlebag (beat-up): $50, for those that can remember, this is a carradice saddle bag from about 10 years ago that came to Rivendell as a ‘second’, somehow the bags were stitched with the pockets/flaps on the wrong side (look at the picture, it’s hard to explain). You end up with a saddlebag that works perfectly fine, but looks bad because you have an extraneous pocket on one side and an extraneous flap on the other. Someone at Riv attempted to ‘fix’ this bag by snipping off the flap, but stopped halfway. Bottom line, the extra pocket and half-snipped flap look terrible, but the center compartment functions fine. The top-flap also has an extension to fit over-sized items, surprisingly large volumes can be stored. This is missing the toe-strap that goes around the seat-post. The bag has gotten very little usage over the years, it still has the out of the box stiffness of old Carradice bags. The gray spots in the pics is actually dust. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2173.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2174.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2175.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2176.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2177.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2178.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2179.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2180.JPG https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1467189/bike/IMG_2181.JPG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
