carradice original camper or super c saddle bag?

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

i'm buying a new saddle bag tomorrow from carradice, which one tho? super c which seems good or the original camper long flap?

any thoughts or recommendations on either?

Didn't you recently sell a Carradice saddle bag? If so, what's made you consider going back to them?.

I'm interested as I ride with panniers and was thinking of a saddle bag.

PS - If I was buying, I'd lean towards the larger one - Longflap.

I lurve my super C, so used to it that I miss it when its not behind me. A pair of shoes & a book plus all my spares go with me every day. I chose it because it seems more streamlined, you know, for speed and stuff

i did sell one recently, i was riding a different bike then. i liked it but the bike didn't. i've now got a pearson which i'll be keeping so i'm going back to saddle bag as the rack spoils the lines and looks daft without the guards (guards not going back on as i'll be using 35mm studs in winter.

Camper Long Flap would be my choice, I have a Barley and Lowsaddle Longflap (in green) myself and rate them highly.

Which Pearson did you got? The Super C may suit the bike more if its a modern looking frame but I'd still prefer the CLF as I thinks its more versatile/better looking

I think my Carradice SQR Tour is awesome. Not sure if its slightly heavy, but its huge yet nicely aerodynamic and doesnt make you look like an OU lecturer if you have to take it somewhere
