Review - Galen Leather Bicycle Saddlebag
Classic saddles like a Brooks England Swift , deserve a classic saddlebag to complement them. The leather saddlebag from Turkish brand Galen Leather, is hand-crafted and beautifully finished. I featured the exquisite Galen Leather Traveller's Notebook in my 'Stocking Fillers for Cyclists' post, earlier this month. The leather saddlebag is a similarly bespoke product, with a great quality presentation. Made from vegetable-tanned leather, and stitched by hand using waxed thread; it has a classic look and feel. The leather is proofed with a weatherproof coating of natural oils and beeswax. Belt straps secure the bag to the saddle loops, on any heritage saddle, like a Brooks. You could also use this as a top-tube bag on any narrow tubed road bike. A beautifully made and hand-finished product. Much like a leather saddle, it will grow in character and style with age. A timeless classic. View the Leather Bicycle Saddle Bag at Galenleather.com here
