Randonnee Rack Bag   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #22039 of 25149 |
I talked with Kogswell today, they said their up and coming rack might be out in
June. I have
had stuck in my mind the idea of making some sort of bag for my rack, maybe in
the style of
the "Boxy Rando Bag" that Acorn Bags sells, but not quite as there is something
about that
bag that bothers me, I can't put my finger on it though. Just not quite my
style I guess.

Anyways, I was going to fish around for ideas. Any material preferences?
Pocket preferences
or shape preferences? For any of you that have a bag like this, is there an
essential feature
you feel like its missing?

Thanks!
-P

... It's kinda funny you say that, since the design of the bag is very much (and consciously so) in the same retro vein as Berthoud, Acorn, Inujirushi, ...

... Almost. Expect them to cost similar to what you'd pay for an equivalent Berthoud bag today. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. -Adam...

Adam A. Do you think we will see an attachment added to your messenger bags so it attaches to the porter rack? K. ________________________________ From:...
