donnamb,
Thanks for the review. I have two Carradice bags at the moment and I am sure I will be buying more. I bought the first one because it was the "right" bag for my Raleigh Supreme. I bought the second bag because I like A) the quality of the first bag and B) it is made by real people getting paid a living wage in a first world country. There maybe US manufacturers of bike bags but I am not familiar with them. I have seen 25 and 30 year old Carradice bags that are still going strong.
