After a bit of rack advice, this seems as good a place as any to ask. I'm after making a bagman type support to hang off my handlebars to support a Carradice saddle/handlebar roll, so not massive weight.
Tools at my disposal are: heavy duty vise
hammer
grips
Oxy acetylene
Probably will attach to bars with p clips, so both ends of the bracket will need to be squashed to enable drilling and bolting. Do I use alu or steel rod, and what diameter?
If it works out fine, I'm considering making a larger one for a Carradice super c audax bag, but with extra support from below ( from the fork brake/guard bolt hole).
Cheers. Jon
