Tom,
I'm 95% certain the bike in the drawing belongs to Jim Thill of
Hiawatha Cyclery http://hiawathacyclery.com
Velonut could tell us if Hiawatha carry the bags for sale.

I've sent an email to Frost River asking about a discount for the
members of the Gentleman Cyclist list and riders of the Lake Pepin 3-
Speed Tour.
That being said, Frost River used to be making these for Grant
Petersen at Rivendell as their "Baggins" line. FR told Grant they
could not supply these any more, kept all the designs and Voila! re-
introduced their own line of cycle bags and had the fortitude to
display then on a Rivendell Atlantis.
I'd recommend taking a look at the more refined line of Nigel Smythe
cycle bags now offered by Rivendell:

Duluth Pack used to make bags for Rivendell.
Are Frost River and Duluth Pack the same corporate entity?
(And while we're at it, why is the Duluth Trading Co., purveyors of
fine khaki shorts located in Belleville, Wisconsin?)
BTW Speaking of Duluth Pack, I hope it's appropriate to put in a plug
for an establishment I think would appeal to Gentleman Cyclists.
One of the 3 co-owners of Duluth Pack owns the Island View Resort in
Knife River. On the North Shore, past Duluth, but before Two
Harbors.. Jane and I go up there each August for our wedding
anniversary. We take bikes or a tandem and spend a few days biking
and hiking up and down the North Shore.
It was originally a commercial fishing camp, accessible only by boat,
belonging to his great-grandfather. (His daughter and grandson live
there too, making it 6 generations on the land.) When the road was
built, right through great-grand dad's land, he built a few small
fishing shacks for sport fishermen. They are still quite rustic,
although in 1948 they added indoor plumbing, and a few years later,
electricity. It's basic and simple but clean and well run and takes
your mind back to a simpler time. Each cabin has a Webber out front
and they provide charcoal. In the evening guests gather around the firepit.
It's the sort of place where a nice old Dunelt would fit right in. It
doesn't hurt that Scenic Drive (The highway formerly known as 61,
before the freeway was built a mile inland) is flat enough that 3
speeds are 2 more than needed. Unless there is a big Nor'easter
coming down the lake. Last year we went about 5 MPH going to Two
Harbors and were completely spun out all the way back.
http://www.islandviewresortmn.com/cabins.html The oldest cabins, 1-3
have the best view of the lake, the little additions on the sides are
where they added small bathrooms in '48. With no water slides to
attract hyperactive children, the few youngsters we've met there seem
like potential future Gentlemen Cyclists.

was started by ex-Duluth Pack employees. I do not know what caused
them to leave and start a competing company. Several years ago Frost
River had a booth at a Midwest Mountaineering expo and this is the
first I had heard of the company and the people attending the booth
told me of the split. I have no idea if there is any relationship
with Duluth Trading Co., although I have always wondered the same
thing, especially as the catalogs are quite similar.

No. From the Rivendell mailing list discussions (IIRC, which may not
be C, YMMV, etc), the story goes as this. Duluth Pack made bags for
Rivendell. Frost River was (one of the IIRC parts) a guy who left
Duluth Pack and struck out on his own. Grant contracted with him to
continue to make bags for Rivendell. Then said guy launched the
Frost Rover site and started selling the bags directly under his own
name, in breach of his agreement with Rivendell. Grant tried to
negotiate with him to stop, the guy refused, and Grant didn't pursue
it much further than that and broke off relations. I suspect Grant
couldn't afford the legal costs of defending his designs and/or the
supplier agreement. I think this is why the Baggins line has gone
away- that Grant just doesn't want any confusion between Riv's
products and the Frost River products.

J Peterman catalogues I'm surprised one of the bags isn't called the
Shepheards. I like how the "Click for Larger Image" links get you an
additional image of precisely the same size. And it takes some
cojones to screw over Rivendell then use an Atlantis for the model in
the images (of both sizes!). Me, I saw that Carradice is now doing
the Nelson Longflap in green like my Barley and have one ordered from
Harris Cyclery though they're backordered until April. With luck
it'll be here before the 3ST.
