A nice review of our medium saddlebag from commutebybike.com: link.

A customer wrote the following today:

I bought your shoulder bag recently and absolutely love it. Perfect size for work and bike essentials, and it looks professional as well. I treated the leather with sno-seal yesterday and it looks great, but I got some on the canvas. Any recommendations on how to get it out of the canvas? Also, I was wondering what you recommended to treat the canvas for continued water repellency. The article in the blog recommended nikwax, which kind was this.

One more question, are you planning on making handlebar bags any time soon? I hope so.

Our Reply

Use a hair dryer on it – the Sno-seal will melt into the canvas and will not
harm it (it also disappears). You can also apply a tissue to the area to
absorb the melted Sno-Seal if it is thick.

We are working on handlebar bags – no definite timing for the release.

Thanks,

Uffda…Hat tip to Lindsay Craig who noticed a fairly significant mistake in some copy I wrote. All instances have been corrected. Three cheers for grammar vigilantes.

Hi Minnehaha Guys -

Your bags are fantastic, and I appreciate the purist style no end. Jim Thill at Hiawatha Cyclery put me on to your products and, as usual, was right about all things bicycle. I have to admit I was very surprised, though, when I saw a copy of your ad on the MinnPost site today (courtesy of Calhoun Cycle), and also the same copy on your site, where you say your bags are “Imminently Practical.” Wow! I think you mean “Eminently Practical,” as in conspicuously or incredibly practical…rather than imminently practical, as in looming or threatening to be practical. Yeah, I know…grammar vigilantes get a bad rap, but since your things are so good, I’d hate to see them obscured by really weird prose. Thanks, happy riding, Lindsay Craig
