Re: WTT: Bags & rack, grid-grey for olive. (Possibly WTB/FS)

Clarification:  I said I'd entertain a Bagabond bag instead of the Happisack.  I meant Bagboy, and actually think I'd prefer it.  I will trade straight across, even though the Happisack costs more.

Private reply sent. Fingers crossed it went through.

Update:

Sold the grid-grey bags as a set, so I guess I'll just wait until Riv re-stocks and buy new olive ones.

I still have the Campee front rack if anybody needs one or has a Mark's rack to trade.   Both are nice but, if your bike fits the Campee, it's really the nicer choice:  Fewer parts, less clutter, more custom looking, lighter, and (the main reason for having one) it includes a threaded boss for stabilizing the cantilevered part of a front fender!   The recent thing with Nitto and Riv recommending straps because of a spate of broken ones was not because of a design failure.   I have another one of these that's 20 years old and still going strong, and gave a second one away with the Clem that was fine too.  It's just because dumb hipsters were loading them with 12-packs and going camping on rough trails!

While I'm at it, I might as well add the following rear rack WTT that I also just discovered that I'd need for the Susie:

HAVE: Nitto R-14 rear rack that Riv used to sell.  It has a tall tombstone and the front hardware attachments are the the flat in front type.  This one works best if your upper braze-ons are at the height of the rack (ie.: above the tire/fender).  Otherwise the struts need to be bent - but that's the way most were installed.

NEED:  Nitto RBW-51 front/rear replacement that Riv now sells. (Tiny tombstone, front hardware mounts to side.)

Keith, I sent you a note offline about an Olive Trunksack that I’ve had sitting on my shelf for a while. I’m not sure it made it through. Please drop me a line at shrew (one) (three) at yahoo if you’d be interested in a single vs a set. I only have the one bag, not a matched set.
Thanks!
