JPR decaleur



after reading JH's post on
"bump-proof" decaleurs
I had a look to see if I had posted a pic of the wonderful
jpr decaleur
made by Jo Routens' son
Jean-Paul:
hadn't
so here 'tis.

immune to bumps as the bag slides on sideways
the two steel sleeves are bolted to the handlebar bag's internal aluminium stiffener

sad to say
I've lost the lovely little occy strap that held everything in place
it must have pinged off without me noticing
but even so
the systems still works beautifully
and so much simpler than this.
