any1 know where i can buy this?
it is a rear luggage wheel bag that is attached to a bike. though, this would be good for camping trip.
from the pix, is that rear luggage bag specifically designed for the brompton or will it fit for any bike or folder? if it is designed specifically for the brompton, does any1 know any similar bag that work for any kind of bike. also is a quick release or not?

If all that luggage is cantilevered off that seat post, I wouldn't give a lot for its chance of lasting long.
The load is way out from the mounting point and must be exerting horrible strain on the clamp that holds it all to the seat post. Empty - maybe, but fill those bags with gear and it is inviting collapse. Could be that there is some kind of vertical support out of sight to the rear frame as in a traditional luggage rack. I can't see and don't know how the mini is fixed for rear rack mounting points.

I found a used Burley trailer locally on craigslist for $40. Needed another $75 for the bike mounting kit, which was missing. Just over the weekend, I scored another trailer out by the trash. Needs some sewing to fix some detaching nylon, but I couldn't pass it up for free...
