I did buy one of the 7 liter Zimbale bag https://www.ebay.com/itm/162545860629. The eBay description is wrong, it's not a "saddlebag" it can be uses as a seat bag or a handlebar bag. Very nice, classic bag, the poor-man's Carradice bag. I use it as a handlebar bag. If you don't have a front rack (as I don't), you may need a support that goes over your stem and handlebars to prevent the bag from contacting the front tire. I took a 3' length of 1/4" diameter aluminum round stock, bought at Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-4-in-x-36-in-Aluminum-Round-Rod-801647/204273994, and built one, almost identical to this one https://www.pinterest.com/pin/511721576393416573/. I think that 3/16" diameter would have been sufficient but Home Depot doesn't sell that diameter, McMaster does https://www.mcmaster.com/8974K21. |

The good news is that you'll get to improve each one you create as you bend it up. |

The good news is that you'll get to improve each one you create as you bend it up. Not necessarily. Back in about 1977 I designed and fabricated my own handlebar bag. At the time, bike shops sold supports for TA style bags - fairly complicated shapes that looped under the stem and over the handlebars, and supported the bag partly from the bottom. Those were 1/4" chrome steel. I used a simpler shape, one that the bag hung from, not sat on. I made mine from 3/8" 2024 aluminum rod. I had access to a heat treating oven, so I annealed the aluminum to make the support then heat treated it to T4 afterwards. I admit to being unsure that it would last, but it has lasted for over 40 years now. Occasionally I've re-bent parts of it - for example, to raise the bag up a bit to clear a new headlight. But it's been fine. -- - Frank Krygowski |
