I have a small burgundy saddlebag from them (bought from Bill at Wallingford Bikes), and it really is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Easily the equal of Berthoud, maybe better. But with Wallingford out of the line, I don't know of anyone in the US carrying it. Their website (there used to be a link on wallbike.com, don't know if it's still there) has a provision for ordering directly from Japan, but I haven't done it.

Guu Watanabe is a maker of custom bags using leather and canvas. He makes a lot of cycling bags as well as any other kind of bag. Recently they put up a few videos of the process of making a bag. http://www.flickr.com/photos/guuwatanabe/sets/72157626734300676/with/5726237437/ I'm not sure what he's saying in the video since I don't speak/read/understand japanese but I enjoyed watching the snippets and browsing through the bags he has on: http://www.guu-watanabe.com/english.htm They appear to be fantastic products but I've never seen one in person. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
