Recently ordered the Nitto Platrack, which is facing extinction, and would like one of those roundish bags that Rivendell made just for it (forget the name).  Anybody be willing to sell me one?  I have a US as well as a UK address you could mail it to, whichever's closer to you.

Cheers,
Bob

I don't own one, but I use the "poor man's" version: A Wald basket zip-tied, with my favorite duffle tossed in... It's awesome.

If you can't track down a Slickersack, a medium Saddlesack is about the right size and shape. See the difference here. The Saddlesack is a bit more narrow so fits between drops better.

That's been my usual setup. My basket abraded holes in a thick canvas duffle in a few months (I ride on bumpy roads--Yorkshire, UK).  Worth the price of a trashed duffle, though.

Andy--Great photos on Flickr.  I want to move from Yorkshire to Oregon.  Clever bikes, too.
