found while looking for some other stuff for another Cottonduckenger

Spa cycles have the old style ones. At least in QR expedition version anyway.

^ thanks busseynova! I'll await the answer from Carradice and if they can't deliver them with the bags I'll order them at Spa...

[edit] Delivery is only offered to countries/regions listed. "UK" - - - ARGH.... (contacted them though) [/edit]

and cheers doppelkorn but I need 2

Peter. Happy to act as UK delivery base for you if that helps?

that would be superb, cheers. are you in north yorks?

communication with Carradice is proving erratic so I'll probably be in touch soon ;-)

Nope London's famous London, but if you want me to forward deliveries to you I could do that.

pm'd you, thanks for the offer!

ah! just been thinking last few weeks of getting one too, last one nicked with a saddle. Brixton Cycles may have old ones in stock, that's where I got it last time, think it was the smaller one, and not QR.

Last time I was in Brixton Cycles (few weeks ago) I asked about carradice stuff and they said they had nothing... though they may have had supports – until I actually got a bag there was no point thinking about supports.

That's one of the least insightful things I've ever had to say, sorry...

Spa cannot guarantee delivery within 2 weeks... So I placed this ad in Classified's 'wanted'

fingers crossed....

sorting it at the moment, thanks for your help y'all

I use a couple of Chossy music cases (one from ebay, the other from a boot sale) for day to day carrying. I use leather laces to tie them to a rear rack and they work really well. http://www.myfixedgear.net/gringolet-update

^ fair play like

Do they not come loose or start to tear after a while?

Greetings folks,
I purchased a Nelson longflap (in green) two weeks ago from Condor.
When I asked for the support thing they only had the new one in black - no silver ones left.....
As I am never going to overload it, I have so far used it without the supports going
down to the seat tube and it works fine bolted to a Brooks saddle.
I absolutely love it and will use it on long rides so no more weight on my back.
Oh and for the spotters, mine was made by Janet.
Oh and for the bike pimpers, the support thing is currently with Brick Lane Bikes being painted in white to match the bike - oh yes...
Peace and Love,
Tim

Been using them for three months now. I used a grp rod ( I make kites too!) fitted internally in the case to anchor the laces and a hole punch to get nice neat unfrayable holes. I also made the saddle bag which has been really successful, especially with Prufide slapped on!

^^mine was made by Janet too. Shout out to Janet!

Mine is Sue, nice work Sue!

I fucking love Carradice products. Mine was made by Lindsey. I ned some new leather straps now though, as the metal loops do slowly chew away at the straps over time.

I am using a cut down toe strap as a replacement for the seat post tie. It might work for you as well?

(ps ot: I bookmarked a load of edits for Panton blues on my Kindle but cannot figure out to export them. really sorry dude.)

This.

I actually reused my old MKS laminated toe strap as they're very sturdy and last for a while.

The new bagman2 is made of alloy apparently, so if you removed the strut, I highly doubt it will have the capacity needed to support a bag full of anything.

I might have a bagman1 sport up for sale soon actually. Watch this space

Ha, mine too!
Top work Sue

I wonder if it's a great idea to start a topic asking everyone who made their bag and listed them?

so far it's

2x Sue
1x Janet

Would be rather amusing to send out a thank you card addressing to those ladies out of the ordinary.

Mine's made by Sue too!

3x Sue
1x Janet

I love the idea of sending them a card.

I can't wait to check mine when I get home!!!

I think it's Janet and I've had email correspondence with Mary. I imagine it's like this.

But in my wildest dreams like this:
