I got a used Camper today (it's a later one with the drawstring skirt; the quality is not as good as the older ones I remember: thinner canvas, plastic scuff lining instead of leather; but it's still very nice) for the trike on which I run a Turbo and, hating even the VO bolt-on loops, let alone the diabolic Cyclo ones, I decided to try to strap it directly to the rails. It took a bit of twisting and a pair of pliers to pull the second strap tight enough to get the buckle into the second loop, but now the bag's dowel sits tight up against the saddle and, with the strap around the seatpost, there is no sway. Who'd'a' thought? Straps, of course, started with buckles inside and underneath dowel so that other end comes back in on top and cinches with pointy end downward.
Would this work on a bicycle? The trike has a very, very short rear-center (the 27X1 1/8" tires overlap the bb shell) so that the stays are more vertical. But I don't see why not. Wisht I had a Hoss but the Camper will do for now. -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW http://resumespecialties.com/index.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
