I've been lusting after the GB25's but come to accept that I should spend the money updating some of the other stuff on my newly acquired Heron. As such, I decided to take the cheaper road and see if anyone has a used VO Campagne (I'd also be interested in the decaleur as well) that they are looking to part with.

I'd consider similar bags as well but as used GB25 or Acorn is probably out of my price range (although it can't hurt to throw a price at me, I suppose).


Thanks,

Frank

Hi Frank. I have s few bags that are not being used. I'll dig around this weekend and let you know what I have.

Also have a few decaleurs.

I have the VO Campagne Bag with the Pass Hunter Intergrated Decailluer front rack (cantilever brake mounts) if you are interested.  I am generally happy with the bag, less so with the rack.  The bag does what it needs to do and I like the map case.

My advice is
The VO is only 20cm high vs the GB25 at 25 cm high.  Will you be happy with the shorter VO bag????

The VO is $110 new, you may be better to buy new, unless people are willing to greatly discount a used one (a trait I have not seen here, most things have high resale prices)

I have a Nitto M12 already on the bike, so I wouldn't be interested in the rack/bag combo. Although the VO bag is shorter, it is deeper and the volumes are quite similar (at least on paper). Point taken on a used bag. With a fairly low price point of new, I don't expect I'll find one at a price to make it worthwhile (for either party) but figured it wouldn't hurt to throw the "WTB" out there. Perhaps I should wait for a used GB25, but those probably aren't too frequent. Patience is not one of my virtues!

I used GB25 will be considerably more expensive than a new VO.  I do not know if VO still has Flash Sales or plan on sales.  Their bag is made in Pakistan, hopefully not by militants.  It is well made and the stiffeners work well
VO has a MUSA bag at 25cm height which is very roomy,  I think it is $200.  Getting up their with a GB bag, understandable when made in 1st class countries.

Understood that a used GB would be considerably more than a used VO.

All set now. I just purchased a Swift Ozette and Tanaka decaleur. Very excited to get them and put on some miles.

Thanks to those that responded.
