[Matt Beecher]

FWIW, I tried contacting this seller and have had no response. I assume these 
are sold.

That looks like the Hoss, the largest Baggins model. I owned that and the
medium Adam; both nice bags but, at the size of the Hoss (which is about as
big as 2 Campers), the un-stiffened construction of the bag makes it rather
floppy. The Adam (larger than a single Camper) was a good commuting size.

I used the Hoss on my Ken Rogers trike, and the wide stays helped support
it -- no rub on tires as the bag sat between them. A very nice grocery
setup, tho' the trike did tend to roll away from you as you were loading
the bag.

I have to say that, nice as the Bagginses bags were, the Sackvilles are
nicer not only in look, obviously, and quality, but in function. IMO, the
Medium Sackville is the ideal unsupported saddlebag (at least, if you ride
559 wheels, as I do, or ride a frame a lot bigger than my 57-60.

Patrick Moore, who has also owned Large and Medium Sackvilles, not to
mention any number of Carradices, but who defaults to Ortlieb panniers.

[RBW] CL outing: vintage Rivendell Baggins large seat bag and panniers

[Doug Bloch]

I have connection to the seller, but these should be of interest to this 
group.  I would buy them but I am about to unload my Baggins handlebar and 
medium size seat bag. Buy these and mine and get the whole set LOL.

Ultra Rare! Rivendell seat bag, largest size, waxed cotton - $80 (lower 
haight)

Used but in good, if not great, condition. Waxed cotton, water resistant 
(not waterproof), largest size they made. Works best with a rack for more 
stability. Fits a lot of stuff. Rivendell does not make these anymore and 
this style is rare for sure. Every time I used this someone would stop me 
and ask about it. Every time. Haha. It's weird. Used less than 40 times. 
Rivendell bags, and bikes, are legendary for quality and craftsmanship.

Ultra rare! Rivendell panniers. Waxed cotton. - $100 (lower haight)
Used but in good, if not great, condition. How do you judge that anyhow? In 
use less than 20x. Still water resistant. Not waterproof. Still has the 
Alder branch tie-down. These things are rare for real. If you do not know 
Rivendell or their bikes and bags look em up. Legendary. Every time I used 
them someone on the road would ask me about them. Killer style. Was over 
$200 new..
