Hi,

I'm trying to get hold of a Camper Longflap saddlebag, but general consensus from three LBS* (who also trade on the web) suggests that Carradice are having difficulties with their supplies (of certain items).

Does anyone have any ideas which stores normally carry a good range of stock before I go to Carradice direct.

Note the LBS' are SJS, Spa Cycles and CH White.

Cheers, Mombee.

    I went to Carradice directly to get my Lowsaddle Longflap and the service was superb - I took delivery of the saddlebag the very next day
