Yes I just looked at Wiggle andhere are the numbers
Item name Qty Total
Carradice Nelson Saddle Bag
1
$ 60.84
Add Voucher / Go To Basket
Goods Total $60.84
Delivery $11.91
Priority Despatch $5.95
You Pay $78.69
So the nelson longflap can be had for less than half the price of the
Sackvilles
at $175 and $200. Seems like a no brainer to me. Go to Wiggle and buy
away.
