i've been lurking around the threads looking at the photos of your bikes. just curious were you guys usually shop for those saddle bags (ones connected to the bike's chair). any good places online?

oh, a plug for the giant, I guess. eBay sells a ton of 'em cheap.

I bought my newest Caradice from Peter White: https://www.peterwhitecycles.com/carradice.asp
Also picked up a few on eBay.
