Carradice Saddlebags

Thanks, I'll take some inspiration from yours if I ever end up doing that! From what I've seen you've made some decaleurs for Ortlieb hooks, but none for the Bagman QR, right?

@TM : I want to keep running a rear rack, for the occasional big thing that'll fit in nothing but my Vaude Aquaback, and I wasn't happy with the Bagman + Rear rack look, especially on my very industrial looking aluminium bike, hence the quest for a front mounted QR bodge.

In the end that's what I'm going for (for now at least), as I found a Cube rear rack without a platform that hopefully won't clash to much with the Bagman. Will post a picture of how it looks once everything is finished. Expected wait time for the non-Carradice saddlebag I'm hoping to order is 6 weeks though... If anybody knows of a shop selling Lightweight Audax saddlebags in mainland Europe I might buy that instead.

By the way, when you say the super C works well as a shoulder bag, you're talking about the actual Super C (23L), not the Audax one? Good to know that even the larger models aren't too bulky to carry around, even though I was thinking of trying a small one first.

@.ben : thanks for your suggestion, but I'm stubborn and a bit fussy, I know I won't like using straps on a daily basis.
