Considering a Gilles Berthoud saddle, as I've found that I really like a custom cutout on a Brooks B17 that I have. I now have amassed a small collection of saddlebags and I'm wondering if the mounting loops on the back of the Berthoud Aspin saddle are spaced similarly to the ones on my Brooks B17 Ti. Mostly concerned about my Sackville BagBoy and the Happisack. I've grown pretty accustomed to riding with a saddlebag and it would be nice if the ones I have are easily mountable on my new saddle. Any thoughts on Berthoud vs. Brooks are welcome.....
Yes, the bag loops on a Berthoud Aspin/Aravis are spaced about the same distance apart as those on a B.17 and fit the straps on a Carradice about as well. The slots are rather different than B.17 loops and you have to slide the straps in a bit differently (they're more like long tunnels than flat pieces of metal with holes in them) but they work just fine.
