Two Piece Saddle Bags with Silver Perforations

It took a couple of goes to get the colour right on this 2 piece bag for Steve. The aim was to get the silver perforations to look like the titanium but in the first version, the one with black piping, it was too blue. So we had another try and decided to change the piping to grey for an added highlight. This one also with the spring loaded, nickel plated toe strap buckle and a single ended YKK Vislon zipper.

The first of two saddle bags for Steve. This one is for his Pegoretti to match the saddle, bar tape and pump strap I made a while ago. We fitted a double ended YKK Vislon zip, but after trying it out Steve decided a single zip slider would be more functional. He also opted to have the nickel plated, spring loaded toe strap buckle rather than the traditional style stainless buckle I've been using recently.
