Saddles with saddlebag loops.

Other than Brooks?
I know there are widgets and gizmos to fit 'loops' to the rails of an un-looped saddle, or to support a saddlebag without requiring the saddle to have loops, and any number of zip-tie, teeny karribiner bodges, but still.....?

I thought Mr E simply meant that he was wondering what manufacturers other than Brooks make saddles with bag loops as part of the spec other than Brooks.  I can't find one ...

Mr Endon is asking what other saddles besides Brooks have a pair of built-in loops at the back to attach a traditional saddlebag to.

There must be so few that I don't even think it's worth investigating the matter.  You should choose a saddle that suits your backside, then worry about how attach your bag afterwards.

I remember some Madison saddles with loops, but they've long been discontinued.

The Madison ones werelittle moulded plastic jobbies which weren't quite wide enough for a strap to go through.

Haven't seen any saddles with loops in a while, I think...
