[RBW] Re: threaded fork crown rod breakage on my Nitto 32F... punishment or a sign? Also, it can be salvaged, right?

I might be making things up as I go along, but some (all?) of the Nitto front racks use an m6 bolt brazed onto the end of a steel tube for the fork crown stay, so if there's any flexing it will stress the bolt<->bolt head junction (which has already been weakened by brazing it to the tube.)

Re: [RBW] Re: Opinions on saddlebags? Swift vs. Carradice vs. Sackville

I've had a few Acorn bags over the years, and still have what was their large saddebag in my inventory, though I think that particular design no longer exists in their catalog. Though I haven't had a new Acorn bag in several years, the bags I've had from them have been of high quality materials

Interesting response from folks, if Richard had not listed his original price (which i don't think he needed to do) would the reactions be the same? We're talking about an item that is not made anymore--and has not been made for quite a long time. The question shouldn't be if it's icky that

At some point in the distant but forseeable future there will be a scramble for sackville bags, and it will be lead by those who already have a bag made with the highest quality materials and a flat-floored pouch that doesn't tilt the load, and has a stiff lower lip and a flap-tongue that contains

I am not interested in the bag, so any set price is of no concern to me. If I was interested in the bag, I would offer you what I was willing to pay for it, so I can find no fault in your asking price since I would pay no more than that regardless. It is not the sellers job to make me feel

Richard, While I appreciate your transparency with pricing, I disagree with your logic. You are also more than free to price your item for what you think it's worth. And yes, we've most certainly all bought something on a whim and then decided it wasn't for us. I did this last week, and now I

Re: [RBW] FS: Last Nigel Smythe tweed country bag

Hey Richard, If you aren't looking to make money on it then why not offer to sell it for what you paid plus the actual cost of shipping? I see you saying you aren't looking to profit, and then I see you selling something for more than you paid. It's confusing. Reed On Wed, Apr 12, 2017 at
