Prototype 1
Update: Sold
This is my most recent Handlebar Bag modelled slightly after the old Lafuma bags. The bag is constructed using very high quality British made canvas that is impregnated with a rot and water repellant finish, faux leather binding and veg tanned leather, Berthoud styled detailing. Drilled to accept a Velo Orange decaleur and ready to mount.
Pocket sizing is more generous than Berthoud bags and the canvas is heavier thus not requiring a stiffener. The vinyl map case is made of a lighter weight material than I would like, however does the job well.
This bag has been used for the last month or so on my daily commutes to gauge the overall design, quality and sizing. Overall I am very happy with the outcome! On future bags I will most likely shrink the depth of the bag and use a heavier vinyl material with a closed and possibly velcro sealed map case.
Sizing is very similar to the Gilles Berthoud GB25. Exact sizing is
Width = 27cm
Height = 22cm
Depth of main body = 16
