Correction:  I received my medium rucksacks from Varusteleka (Helsinki) 
today, and they're actually the same ones you both have...and they're BIG!! 
 I ordered 4 (which in total cost only 92.75 Euros, or roughly $101 
shipped!!.  The quality of these bags is IMPRESSIVE... I can't wait to 
modify them.  Thanks!!!

  Varusteleka has some nice medium-sized surplus bags, which should make for 
 nicely-sized overnighters, or possibly front panniers.  These remind me of 
 the Carradice C bags.

That's a clever design.  Looks stable and easy to operate.  I've just been 
using an Irish strap to swap between a randonneur bag and the Wald.  Stable 
but takes a little practice to attach.

I forgot to mention that Bend Velo in Bend Oregon is thinking of making and 
selling my basket design. Talk to Eric.

 It would be very lengthly to explain how to make your own. Hopefully with 
these photos and video it will be clear enough to make yourself. No I won't 
make them. The hook is made from aluminum, but I already had it. If I was to 
make it from scratch, I'd use steel. Front prongs are aluminum too. I just bent 
them in a vice and sandwiched the wires of the basket with a piece on the 
opposite side. I filed small grooves in the aluminum to encapsulate the wire so 
they would not slide loose. The strap that I pop riveted the buckle to with 
steel rivets is stainless steel, 3/4 x 0.25 strips that I bought at the local 
hobby store. It is bent back on itself so that there is three layers between 
the wires that hold the buckle. That whole wrap job is also bent at the middle 
to provide the proper cam action for the buckle. See the side view. I peened 
down the rivets with a hammer a little bit to improve appearance. I hope the 
video works.Clayton (Bend)
