I just sold my Mission Workshop Vandal backpack and have been looking for a suitable replacement. I loved the design and attention to detail of that bag, but it was a bit too large for my usage and didn’t have enough convenient compartments.
I had the intention of replacing it with a smaller Mission Workshop Rambler, and possibly a Gamoh front rack for my beater bicycle.
However I came across this Carradice Bike Bureau pannier and it seems like the perfect combination of form and function. It attaches to a front or rear rack (no sweaty backs!) and easily turns into a snappy looking shoulder bag for off the bike use. This is the quintessential post messenger bag that I’ve been looking for. WANT!
