Dave and Willy ready to ride to Sacramento.

Rivet Saddles, set up with two bikes on trainers to test their saddles. I'm buying one!

For me, the highlight of the show was seeing the work of Philip Woosley,  Loyal Designs. His bags were everywhere and they were stunning. Here is his full set on Mitches MAP touring bike.



There was a third bag, but it was on a bike in the bike room and I forgot to put it out!

more from Loyal at the Ti cycles booth.




Thanks Deb at Rivet Saddles for allowing me to put some bags at her booth.

Rivet Saddles

If anyone is attending NAHBS, I will have a few bags on display at the Rivet Saddles booth.
Deb Banks is a fellow San Francisco Randonneusse  that has completed Paris Brest Paris and is launching a leather saddle line. Her saddles are gorgeous and I encourage everyone to stop by.
I'll be on hand if anyone wants to chat. I'll also have my measuring tape for anyone interested in getting measured up for a custom bag to be made at some point.

Swift Industries

(Image borrowed from Swift webpage without permission.)
I had the pleasure of meeting Martina of Swift Industries this week. I hope we can visit Seattle sometime soon for some riding and sewing. My son Finley really had a lot to say to her about Star Wars and race cars.

Small seat bag






Inspired by Greg Merritt, who mounted my small handlebar bag backwards, upside down, to his saddle, and it looked pretty nice. Thanks for the idea Greg!
