Yup.

In post 89 above, I had a photo of my Carradice Pendle.

Another DIY support I made below, also for the Pendle on my road bike which lacked loops on the Brooks saddle. I think I used 5/16 inch diameter aluminum rod for the support under the bag. This one is also on a stem with appropriate shim to fit on a seatpost.



My Nelson Long Flap sitting on top of a pair of Ortliebs, that was where I put most of our food on this trip.
