4 places.....don't forget Rivendell, who originally designed that type of bag and who offers it in several colors:

Admittedly more expensive at the moment but hey if you like tweed, etc.....
P.S. of all of them, I like the VO croissant bags, because they are the only ones to have the closure strap come down over the whole top so you can actually tuck a spare clothing layer UNDER the top strap but on TOP of the bag. It gives you way more handy storage ability. I have used that top strap many a time for rolling up an extra smartwool crew shirt or rain vest....Last edited by BleeckerSt_Girl; 10-07-2007 at 10:37 AM.

I ordered one of those Frost River bags. A whole thread about it! It looked NOTHING like the picture. I sent it back and demanded they refund shipping also, since it was so different. They refunded it, but I noticed that they still have those same pics on their website.

Frost River
Found the pics. Bias tape trim, no leather across the top with rivets, which I suspect helps the top hold its shape.
Those Duluth bags look really nice. Don't suppose you could post a pic with your bike????? Pretty please????Last edited by uforgot; 04-29-2009 at 02:49 PM.

wow...that is a huge difference....problem with using those drawings is you don't get any sense of the material.
