Brooks flyer on trek fx 7.2. Bag options?
Hi all. Posted this in another area and got crickets. Was wondering if any of you old folks with a 50 year old boney butt like me have a 7.2 and a brooks flyer saddle. And, what types of behind the seat bags you run. Also, what do you think of your flyer. Thanks in advance.

The Flyer is great for bikes with a more upright sitting position. I have one on a seldom ridden bike that I am planning to move to my Fuji when I change it from drop bars to North Road type bars. There are few low cost options for seat bags that attach to the bag mounts at the rear of a Brooks saddle. I'm using an old canvas bag that I got from the BOB catalog in the days before Rivendell. I like the Sackville SaddleSack options that Riv sells now, but they aren't cheap.
