Matching handlebarbag?
« on: 25 April, 2008, 01:10:58 pm »
I'm looking for a matching handlebar bag to my green Carradice Barley bag
Anyone here that know of one in matching olivegreen?

Found these from Acorn:

But due to the tax and postage I would prefer to order from Europe.

They also make a rather blatant Barley copy:

Nice quickrelease one could fit on a Barley:

Rivendell use to sell some made by Carradice called Hobobag. I was in contact with Carradice but they replied it was special order and sold out:

Have you asked carradice if they'll make you one?  I was under the impression that they'll do one off orders.  Obviously the price will be higher than a standard bar bag but it'll probably be less than buying an already expensive one from the US and adding shipping, tax and the Post Office's pound of flesh.

My impression from their reply was that it was not possible. But when you mention it maybe need to rephrase my question. I'll give it a try!

Try  Gilles Berthoud in France, that would save  taxes.
But they are expensive.

Tack så mycket för tipset Gus!  :thumbsup:
Sorry, but only made in grey or black and a bit to pricy me think!
