The Camper LF is 23 litres and can carry -- my standard volume test load -- a 12-pak of cans + a gal of milk, with a bit of room left over. I would like to trade for a similarly sized courier bag.
I just looked on the Timbuktu site and they don't organize their bags by volume; a Google, or rather a Duckduck Go search doesn't bring up "biggest courier bag" for Timbuktu or anyone else. But I know that Timbuktu made such a beast at one time; the one I've seen may even be more capacious than the Camper LF. And, long ago, I had a cheaper courier bag that easily held as much as the CLF.
And am I right in thinking that Timbuktu has over the last 30 or 40 years "gone corporate" with its product line now being office and lifestyle oriented instead of "carry a heckofalotof stuff-oriented? No matter, as long as the bag is large, decently made, and -- important -- doesn't have a lot of frills and furbelows, particularly inside, so that you can just stuff big things inside without careful navigation.
Again, something to hold a 6-pack of cans and a gallon of milk. (Ale and whole, of course.) the 23 litre benchmark is less important than this other more concrete gauge of volume.
Reason? For very occasional shopping use when I ride a bike without attachable luggage.
Thanks, Patrick
