Want to Buy: Rivendell Brand V handlebar bag

[Bill Lindsay]

Riv has offered in the past a line of "vegan" bags with no leather.  This sub-line of bags was called "Brand V" with the classic double-meaning slogan "Holier than Cow". 

One of the Brand-V products was a handlebar bag.  It's got two velcro loops around the drop handlebar top, and two webbing loops that loop around the brakelevers.  It's a tan smallish rectangular boxy handlebar bag. 

I have one of these and want one more.  I'm not desperate, but I will put my virtual cash money on the barrelhead for you to claim it.  My offer is $60 shipped to Union City CA, for one of these.  If you've got one and want to convert it to money, let me know.

Bill,

I don't have a brand v bag but was looking for something similar and found this:

I might be an alternative should you not be able to track down and Brand V.

Thanks for that link, but that's too small.  I have three different handlebar bags on-hand that are small like that.

Was it this one? 

Because that doesn't look "smallish" to me! :) Maybe the bar tape is making it look wider than it actually is.

I got this one and I like it a lot (11" wide, MUSA)

It's not exactly what I have, but it's very close.  I'd pay my price for the one in the picture or one to match the one I already have. 

I guess smallish is in the eye of the beholder.  I'd characterize a normal traditional handlebar bag as "medium".  A normal traditional handlebar bag requires a rack and a decaleur.  I would characterize a porteur bag as "large", which requires a large flat porteur rack.  Anything that hangs from the bars with no rack is 'smallish' in my book.  :)

Bill,

I have one with real beausage. It's been ridden hard and put away wet but I have been contemplating selling it as I am going through a revaluate, consolidate, and cull phase.

[Bill Lindsay]

I'll be glad to have a look at it.  If you think my price is too high, I'll be willing to consider something else as well...

[Conway Bennett]

Probably too high for this one.  I'll take pics but it's fraying near the zipper and the strap that goes around the stem pulled off long ago but I still have it.  The map case is pristine though!  This may be the first Rivendell product I ever owned and everyone was gushing over it when I visited Riv back in 2013 to buy my Sam.

Fair winds,

Bill,

I have the "not boxy" more but tubular version of the Brand V bag. Love the bag but wish it was at least "water resistant". Short of storing the contents inside a plastic bag have you (or anyone else in the group) experimented with waterproofing your Brand V bag? 

Hope you find that second bag!

Thanks very much,

Rich in ATL
