Up for sale:  

A full set of Ostrich touring luggage.  It has been lovingly used, and shows wear, but no rips, horrible stains, or anything like that.  This luggage has served me well, but I need to sell some stuff to help pay off my recent Hillborne purchase.  My gain is your gain :-)

One handlebar bag, the one with the clear map case, no gridlines.
The VO decaleur.  The part that attaches to the stem is for 1 1/8" stems, so if you have a 1" stem, you'll need to get a 19.00 part from VO.  The part that is attached to the bag will work with either piece, as near as I can tell.
One saddlebag.
The Viva saddlebag support system.  
Two panniers.
Some extra leather straps.

All of this stuff new would be about $625.  Looking to get $375 shipped for this, and I want to keep the kit together and sell all at once.  This is a fantastic deal on some used luggage that has a long life ahead of it, I just need a bit of cash at the moment.

Nice bunch of bagmatching luggage! Would jump had I not already
invested in so many different luggage systems (Carradice, Jandd,
Ortlieb, Lafamu, Axiom, etc.).

Send up photos of the Hillborne. I owned a 56 briefly but sold it and
bought a Fargo which serves the same purpose with more versatility and
(for my taste) better handling with loads. But the H is a wonderful
ramblin' 'round country bike if you don't try to load it up with
groceries (and I suppose many have done just that with complete
satisfaction. It is a nice bike; much better looking than the Fargo
and carves fast, downhill turns like only a Rivendell can.

Patrick, I think we'd all like to see your Herse with matched baggage.
You might sell your piecemeal baggage piecemeal and come out ahead.

Haven't heard that word in years,
Philip

Thank goodness! The last thing I need is *another* set of canvas bags/panniers. But man those were tempting...

Yours,
