Carradice saddlebags

[John the Monkey]

Love the surly bike, I'd love one of those one day. How's the brooks saddle? I've got one on my road bike, and just put an B67 ladies' on my karakum.

B17N on the SCR2.0 (lovely) and B17 on the LHT at the moment. Love them both, and there's no better way to carry the carradice (imo).

surely the right number of bags is n+1

indeed!!! I can see a lowsaddle longflap and the pencil case one in my future.

Darkmaster, I ordered the standard sport bagman after a discussion with the man at the shop on the phone. Ordered it on Monday, but it's not here yet, so I can't test it for you. Fingers crossed it arrives tomorrow, but I've not had any despatch email so not sure when it will come. Never mind, I'll have to ride my touring bike with the camper saddle bag over Easter then.

Agree +1 on the B17 - I love mine. I did try it on the karakum bike, but I kept slipping forward, so put it back on my road bike for which it's perfect and ordered the B67, which I got for the pricely sum of £25 new.

this one?

I think you should just work for Carradice and get them all as company perks then you can surround yourself with them

That would be a plan, although I think I'd prefer to work for Cervelo. I used to work for a climbing gear manufacturer and they kitted me out completely with new gear so I wasn't climbing with competitors kit!!!

Before the climbing company, I worked for a really exciting dental company - no free toothbrushes though.

I work for an eyecare medical charity yet I have to pay for me own glasses...... humpf!

 

[ChristinaJL]

no free glasses, humpf indeed!!!

anyway, my bagman should be here on Saturday, hopefully. Rang the shop up and they've staff off sick, so one poor bloke was desparately trying to pack up all the orders before Easter.

 

[Darkmarkster]

Nice I bought the Barley and the sport bagman and both were despatched via Citylink from Wiggle today so i should get it on Tuesday

Did they give you free mouthwash?

 

[ChristinaJL]

I kind of wish I'd known wiggle were getting more bagmen in, then I'd have held up the rear rack for DH order that arrived today from them and added one on. never mind, suppose I've got to try out other bike shops occassionally.

no free mouthwash, they made dental equipment such as drills and lasers etc.

 

[Darkmarkster]

I suppose a good drillings never a bad thing Indeed you should have waited! Nevermind,it all goes towards keeping my platinum discount
