WTB: Blue Riv Banana Sax or similar

[esoterica etc]

Howdy all,

I'm in the market for a blue Sackville Banana Sax. I'm also open to other brands with a similar "banana"-type bag, but my preference is for the Sackville. Gotta be blue. PM me to let me know whatcha got! Thanks,

Just a bump to see if anyone's got a suitable bag for sale.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but has Rivendell sold blue bags that are different color that the ones they call "Royal"? 

The only reason I ask is because the Royal banana sacks are available on Riv's website still. If you already knew that, wanted used, it's not the right blue, etc..., I apologize!

Ben,

Thanks for the help. I was aware that Riv does have the Banana Sax in royal in stock right now, I was just hoping to find one used and save some cash. 

However, when you look at pictures of the royal blue Banana Sax on Riv's website, and then compare them with the pictures of the royal blue small TrunkSack, the TrunkSack looks to be a noticeably lighter shade of blue (at least to my eyes anyways). Maybe it's just a trick of the camera/screen. Anyone else notice this?

Gotcha. I have the x-small saddle sack in Royal and kind of want the banana sack for a handlebar bag and want them to match. My guess is the TrunkSack is photographed under artificial light and the banana sack looks to be shot out in the alley where they shoot all their bikes. I'd be surprised if Sackville used different materials for these two bags. 

The best idea I can give anyone of color is this...oddly, the Newbaum's navy tape is VERY close to the royal color Sackville used on the x-small saddlebag. 

Unrelated...I noticed you're in Raleigh? My sister-in-law lives there and my wife and I LOVE visiting...in fact, we were the week before Covid shut down the country. Huge fan of Trophy Brewing, Players Retreat, Rise biscuits...I could go on, but I'll leave it at this - I can't wait to visit Raleigh again!

Hey Ben

I have an X-small saddle sack in Royal if you're interested in it. Happy to sell it at 50% retail, it is pretty much unused. My wife got a new funky saddle and it doesn't fit the saddle sack!
