Bags

[uforgot]

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????

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

I will take some photos and post them by this evening...happy to!

Thanks! You know, I tried to look at the Duluth site again and I can't get the bike bags to come up. Wonder if there was a run on them after you posted the link here?

I think ALL "Bob-ish/vintage" biking forums got wind of them pretty quickly. People on the two Rivendell lists were certainly on top of it before it came up here on TE.

Another possibility is this:
Duluth used to make all those very bags for Rivendell under the Baggins label. Riv designed them. (Frost River used to make bags for Riv as well, for a while.)
Apparently Duluth found a few forgotten boxes of these various Baggins bags they had made for Rivendell in their warehouse, and put their Duluth logo on them and put them for sale to sell them off. People started ordering them like mad right away, because the price was really cheap and they are great bags.
So- either they are all sold out already (which is what I suspect).... or else Rivendell threatened them somehow, or bought them all up, or made a deal, and Duluth removed them from their site.
