Freitag bags on a VELLO?
Hey guys!
The new FreitagxBrompton collection looks beautiful!
Because of the 20 inch tyres, I opted for a Vello bike last year. Now I wanted to ask if anyone has tried the Freitag Coltrane bag F748 with a Vello bike?
Thanks and cheers from London
Thomas

There is a review
by EverydayCyclist. He found it well made but uncomfortable. It appears the the Vello luggage block and Brompton luggage block are compatible.

Look at the description of the Vello Trägerblock Vello explicitly mention that this carrier block is "Kompatibel mit Taschen anderer Hersteller, u.a. der F748 Coltrane von Freitag®." !

Thank to all for your replies! @Jipe, this is the thing I was searching for. Looks like the Brompton bags are compatible with my VELLO.
I will keep you guys updated.

Yes, they are compatible but for any reason it seems that Vello prefer not to mention that explicitly.
Its also the case for the Tyrell Yve and also Tyrell doesn't write that on the bike description.
Vello and Tyrell sell their own front block but I think that you can mount the Brompton block too (maybe the angle of the bag wrt. the frame isn't the same as with the Vello and Tyrell own blocks as with the Brompton block ?).

I saw some people complain the bike is uncomfortable. Also some complains about the parts quality. Not sure that is true or not. It looks to me the bike is really well designed.
