I looked into them, but they were heavier and more expensive than my rack and dry bags. One made of lighter materials might be tempting.
Any pictures of that?
Wiggle is a good source at a price that is cheaper (if you factor in postage) than even Carradice itself. Don't forget to include the bungee cords and string in your weight analysis.
And no, sorry, no pictures. It was way back, about 10 years ago. Unfortunately, everything is in or on its way into storage right now so I can't even do a quick mock-up of it. However, the idea did, IIRC come either from a friend, but also the internet. A search might turn up something.
Check also Velo Orange for Carradice alternatives.
