Description

Nigel Smythe & Sons are storied British bag makers, who have been in the bicycle bag business since 1942.  They were one of two prominent bag companies Rivendell carried in the early-mid 2000's–the other being Baggins.  This bag, the Lil' Loafer, was designed to sit atop a Nitto Mini front rack or Mark's rack (or any other similarly sized small-ish front rack your touring or randonneur bike happens to have).  It is made of waterproofed canvas with leather accents and straps, in a design similar to Gilles Berthoud.  

From the Rivendell catalog: "You think puppy dogs are cute? And kittens? They pale in comparison to this bag. It ought to mount onto any of several smallish racks, but in fact the only ones we know for sure it goes onto-because it was designed for them - are the Nitto Mark's rack and the Nitto Mini Front rack for cantilever-brake bikes. What do you put in it? A loaf of pumpernickel and eight bagels, or four sandwiches, a wallet, and a rainshell. Your choice of two options. As with the Big Loafer, there are D-rings on top for keeping extra clothing super ready to be plucked. Two-way zipper and mount for a flasher light. Get this bag!"

Condition

Near mint lightly used shape!  Zero holes/tears/cuts or other issues.  Only very minor wear and dirt spots.
