Calling all Carradice fans: I need help

[elk]

Suddenly a bunch of the Carradice bags skittered into a mouse hole..where are they??? (I want a black zip roll; I gave the green one to Mr elk)

If you're not adamant about Carradice..you might check out Acorn. I have the medium one and it's pretty swell and very well made.

They are really nice........ but aren't they a bit small?

But they look quite beautiful.

Oh and it says NO INTERNATIONAL ORDERS.

Hey Grog- another TE'er is selling a Bagman Sport right now!:

Act fast and you can get it! Then all you'd need to worry about is getting the bag you want either from Peter White or Carradice.

Actually, it is.

The bagman sport is sold. I might order from Carradice directly, it might be simpler.

Ok, seeing no response from the Carradice folks, I have investigated two more sources: SJSCycles and BikePlus, both in the UK. SJS Cycles charges 25 British pounds for shipping; I have placed an order for the Barley and a Bagman QR Sport with Bike+, and I'm waiting for an estimate of the shipping fees. Depending on how much duty I have to pay when the package arrive, this should come in at a reasonable price.

I might get the Lowsaddle longflap later, but for now I think the Barley will probably be big enough... It can carry a bottle of wine.

There's a really cool Carradice group on Flickr, for those interested...

Thanks all! I will keep you posted with pictures and everything when it comes.

I've ordered a couple of things from Carradice directly and always had a response within 24 hours and it was here within a week. Did you go ahead and place the order through their checkout? They then contact you with shipping charges and ask you if you want to go ahead with it.

Isn't 25 pounds close to $50? When I ordered my bagman sport, I think shipping was something like $8 from Carradice. I remember it being incredibly cheap. You may want to try again. I know Sandra and Lisa also ordered from them. Maybe their memories are better.

Edit: Hey, did you see the Barleys on Calhoun Cycle?

Calhoun is pretty amazing

Naah, I send them an email after reading directions for international orders on their site. Perhaps I should have done differently.

I ended up placing the order through BikePlus, they were really quick to respond and very nice. Shipping will be 18 pounds, so the total order will be around 60 pounds. Not THAT bad, and cheaper than ordering from the USA. We'll see!
