Just interested, why would you consider these rather than Carradice or Acorn bags.

FYI here is a link to a good description of how to mount a Carradice saddlebag. If you get one
of the larger bags you'll probably need a rack/support for it.

I don't know if you are still looking for a Frost River bag, but it appears they may have gone out of business. It looks as if their website has been taken down.
I have a Frost River Banana bag and I like it a lot. Maybe you can get one off ebay.

Well today may be your lucky day. There is a Gunflint on ebay (if you don't mind the funny sewn on patches she put on):

Someone on this site recommended Acorn Bags a few months ago. I ordered a saddle bag from them for my Hetchins and am extremely happy with it.
The only problem is that since he makes his own bags, he only takes so many orders a month. When he reaches his quota for the month, he stops taking orders. So if you want one of his bags, you have to order it on the first of the month. It then takes several weeks to get your order.

I had initially talked to the people at Fox River. I just had a bad feeling about them, for a reason I can't really explain. I guess my gut was right.

Also, I've been seeing bags around from https://www.minnehahabags.com/.

I went by there today and they have indeed closed. It was all of a sudden according to the neighbors. No forwarding address or phone number. What used to be their space is now being renovated for some future tenant.

I wonder if copyright infringement did them in. The guy that started Frost River use to work for Duluth Packs. The Frost River designs were identical with the exception of different materials used. On the cycling front, he turned around and offered Grant's designs from Rivendell at lower prices with nothing but different names and tags. I'm just guessing, but it seems ominous to me...

Not to bring this back from the dead but I got an email from Frost River and it seems the website is working. https://www.frostriverdesigns.com/bik...bags_menu.html
