Carradice Barley - It is Coming !

[wiggydiggy]

Just got the dispatch email from Wiggle and has only been a 3 week wait which by some accounts is good, cant wait

Is it wrong to be this excited about a bag lol

It's a good bag, have you got the support rack?
It's worth putting something inside to help keep it's shape, something like a bit of plastic or cardboard, otherwise it will sag at either end.

QR Rack ordered and delivered several weeks ago lol Its the bag thats been delayed but I have ordered the green one not the black.

Someone else mentioned the cardboard/plastic tip yes thanks for the reminder Going to hunt around the office spares cupboard to see whats what.

Eventually I'll have two, camper or another longflap which I'll combine with another QR mechanism (Carradice will sell just the connector and the ties for £8ish) so that I have one for commuting and one for touring.

I love my green Barley! Mine was a Christmas present.

Mine has faded to a nice silvery grey/green. Still waterproof and looks good

I'm hoping when I get home tonight theres a little red card with my name on it, I'm looking forward to seeing what size box Wiggle uses seeing as for my mini-pump they used something the size of a computer! Probably enormous for a bag lol

Woop picked up this morning, its a pretty thing isnt it

Thanks to Ayesha for making mine, it seems to be all there.

Its deceptively large, when rolled it fits a fair amount of clothes in there especially if (like me) you dont iron anything anyway.

Little bothered that my lights don't sit quite as securely as I'd like on the strap, thats not the bags fault and nothing a bit of gaffer tape around them wont fix.

The QR bracket seems nice and sturdy, and the it sits well on the back.

Pity I'm away all weekend, will wait to monday to test now.
