Re: [RBW] Re: My Winter Projects
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. https://www.flickr.com/photos/129545862@N03/16159037984/in/set-72157650518230279 John On Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at 4:30:00 PM UTC-7, Clayton wrote: It would be very lengthly to explain how to make your own.
