Randi Jo Fab bartender bag for RBW

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Remember when Randi Jo Fab made bartender plus bags for Rivendell? That was before I knew what these were, and before I had need of one. I bring my Hydroflask everywhere, and bottle cages will not do. I tucked my flask in the side pocket of my Saddlesack and I got as far as the end of my driveway before it bounced out, denting it and chipping away at the tangerine paint. But I hear a Bartender Plus can take a flask this size!

Rare as hen’s teeth I’m sure, but thought I’d ask if someone has an unused or unloved RBW Bartender bag they want to sell me.

If not, I see Randi Jo has released the summer colors of the bag on her website and I’ll head there instead. In fact, I’ll head there anyway, because Mom should have one for her new Cheviot...

Anyway, you know where to find me.
Thanks!

"...bottle cages won't do."

Because of size? Aesthetics? I use King Cage Iris cages for my Klean Kanteen 27 oz bottles and they work great. They look to be the same diameter as this hydroflask: https://www.hydroflask.com/24-shave-ice-limited-edition/color,bluehawaii,a,92,o,339. The Iris cage handles the stainless steel, taller bottles very well.

Riv is sold out at the moment, but their link is: https://www.rivbike.com/products/king-cage-iris-stainless-water-bottle-cage

With abandon,
Patrick

Aside from not saying rbw on it I believe they are readily available from randi jo. You could add a patch yourself if that’s important to you.

I have an unused Rivelo one and there might still be ones available. Get the Rivelo.

Patrick, My Hydroflask is 32 oz, and it’s the only bottle I carry in the relentless summer heat of this desert. Or any time, really. The bottle cages won’t work for a large flask. But the Randi Jo bag will!

Ted - thanks, you’re brilliant. Guess what I found in the drawer???

Hmmmm. The Internet version of my email has cut off the end of my reply. I pasted it below, in case you were wondering if I was no longer making sense 🙄:

I think this was a gift from friend Roberta after her visit to RBW. I remember saving it for something special but never could make up my mind on what that might be. I could use it for the bag from Randi or maybe on the new Backabike bags I hope to get when blue comes back in stock.

Thanks, guys. Now to decide between “Woodpecker” or “Campfire” colors...

I’ll just mention that I’ve found the VO Mojave cage works quite well with both my 32 oz klean kanteen growler and my 40 oz hydroflask (both insulated). If you want a frame mounted cage that will fit larger diameter bottles they do exist.

I mentioned this on similar IG post but my experience is that if you inquire with RandiJo she’ll probably tell you that if you send her a patch (Rivendell or whatever) she’ll work with you to get you the Bartender you want. That’s assuming you’re not impatient.

Leah,

I second Jonathan’s suggestion. The Rivelo camera bag is really nice. The photos do not make justice. I would guess that one could fit my 40oz bottle.

I also recall John posting that Randy was there for a trunk show a week or two ago, and left some regular bartender bags as well as caps in stock at Rivelo.

I ended up ordering a bag from Randi’s new color line today. Campfire color; and when you hold up the RBW patch to it = perfect match. ❤️
