Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

There's a standard Raleigh type bag that attaches by straps though the saddle loops and a third strap around the seat post. The bags are made of an indestructible vinyl, but the straps are either plastic or leather, both of which are perishable and, by now, either at or beyond their useful life. Replace the straps and you're good to go. These bags someone's require an internal stiffener, too.
