He grew very tired dealing with suppliers of canvas, snaps, hooks, and then there was the sewing it all together. Believe me, LUG agreeing on one design would be the easy part. <g> I suspect the patch idea might be most workable. It could say something like, "This bag was not custom designed by LUG!" Then you sew it on whatever you want. [BTW, if anybody really wants a custom bag, I was in the workshop of a NYC bicycle messenger bag maker, and they said they could make up any bag I wanted. I could dig up the name, given some time.] John Fulton Fort Worth > >Well now...let's get really serious.
