Dear Listmembers,

I have for sale a Peugeot branded TA handlebar bag, offered with Decaleur and stem. Perfect for a PX-50 or other Peugeot randonneuse.

Its provenance may be of interest to some of you, in that it came from Ken Taylor's personal Jack Taylor Tandem, which came into my possession last year.

Why was Ken Taylor using a Peugeot/TA bag on his Jack Taylor tandem, and not a Sologne or Karrimor? I'll find out one day.

I'm not crazy about vinyl coated nylon, but it has it's fans, notably Chris Kulczycki of Velo Orange who claims on his blog that these TA bags are "more durable and waterproof than the old cotton canvas".

Pictures of the bag for sale are here: http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/marklawrence1/TAPeugeotFrontBagAndDecaleurExKenTaylor?authkey=Gv1sRgCNCKhbb1-Y-pBQ

As the Peugeot logo changed in 1980 to the modern vertically standing lion logo, this Peugeot branded TA bag is dated 70s or earlier. Overall condition is good and includes decaleur. $130 + postage.
