Dave Hellner did a nice job modifying his Brooks B.17 Champion Special.

Bagman Information Site

December 2nd, 2011 by Bill | No Comments | Filed in Carradice, Other Blogs

I came across an interesting page this morning. “Carradice Bagman Problems” analyzes some issues with old Bagman racks and then goes into the reasons that these racks exist and information about mounting and carrying options for Carradice bags.

The site is plain but deep. Poke around a little and you will find all sorts of esoteric bike knowledge. Recommended.
