Saddle Bag on a Brooks Pro

[hopkintonbike]

The 1974 P15 has a gorgeous Brooks Pro on it that looks and feels so good only problem is there are not eyelets to hang a vintage Schwinn Made in England black canvas saddle bag from back in the day, is there a gizmo available that allows for mounting the bag with the 2 leather straps? Todd

Hey Todd - I don't know anything about these saddles, but I do like researching bike stuff. I saw this... It looks like it is an add-on and can fold down. Hopefully someone can chime in on what it is...

Edit: It doesn't fold down it swings down. I missed this last photo in my search and it is a "brooks" add-on (last image). Hope that helps.

I use the VeloOrange or Cyclo bag loops - mounts to the rails, they work great. Either runs about $15/pair.

Both excellent options! Rennfaron, have not been able to find additional information on the Brooks hardware, could you post a link to those photos? thanks, Todd

It appears that they are vintage and hard to find, as there are few results when searching. One sold back in 2013.
Here is where I saw it first.
You would probably have better luck posting a similar post in the regular non-schwinn lightweight section to see if anything comes up from someone that may have one.

These appear as though they are brooks brand

Andrew Hague of the Netherlands also offered a set of bag clips which affixed directly to the saddle rails.

The Carradice quick release bag holder is awesome I own one and it works with any normal saddle rails .
