Hi there,
This is a rare Sackville bag that goes with its special rack. I bought it
used from fellow list member Bill Lindsay a year ago. I unfortunately did
not use it even once (I did not even take the bubblewrap out, and it's
still in the same box Bill shipped it!), but I can say I kept good
Also, if you buy the Platsack (Platrack -sp?) bag, I’ll throw in the little
bag that goes with the large Sackville saddlebag. Used two or three times
only. Same olive color.

I am currently selling my two bike stands: one is the one Riv sells (about

I'm selling them locally because shipping would be a downside (I would

The great thing about bike baskets is their versatility, and with a cargo net,
you don’t have to use a basket specific bag. You can switch them out depending

It may look like a hassle at first for acquiring the necessary stuff and

Thereafter, it takes only five minutes (+30 min of heating and letting it cool
