Got home now and on closer inspection I think it actually may be 50L at a push. Its newer than I thought too. Date stamp is 1992 but cant quite make out makers stamp:- its either Ritto or Bitto.
Dimesions:-
Front of pack--- top opening 56cm wide, base 38cm wide. Base to opening height 54cm.
Side depth --- Top opening 23.5cm, base 15cm
Frame--- side bars height 59.5cm, middle cross bar to base 54cm, width 31cm

No worry mate I just spotted it and thought someone might want it ...

Cheers Cliff ... and it's now sold :D



Dimesions:-
Front of pack--- top opening 56cm wide, base 38cm wide. Base to opening height 54cm.
Side depth --- Top opening 23.5cm, base 15cm
Frame--- side bars height 59.5cm, middle cross bar to base 54cm, width 31cm

Can you confirm the dimensions please??? My measurements on the frame are roughly the same as yours ~ but some seam to seam appear to be a whole lot smaller on mine :dunno: . Plus you've got the top opening as 25cm / 10" wider than the pack ~ that's 10.5cm / 4" wider each side than mine is :yikes: . Depth of pack, top and bottom, are also a bit different ~ roughly 7cm ...

The dimensions you give give for the top opening makes for a girth of 159cm (62.5") ~ 51cm (20") greater than mine. I measure the girth of my 70 at 123cm

Height at the rear:

Having looked at the pics of the way you measured yours that's where the confusion has come from I didn't measure mine in the same way you did.
here is how I did it first:

-one.jpgtwo.jpg

Here is the same way as yours front panel width and height:- W34.5cm H46cm

three.jpgthree close.jpg

four.jpgfour close.jpg

I have just measured the circumference of the opening with a measuring tape and I get 109cm.

Just measured the depth again at the bottom and the top of the side panel:- bottom I got 14.5cm and top of panel I got 23cm

Ah, I wondered whether you'd flattened it out to measure ~ including the dimensions of the side panels threw the measurements out :D .

If the lid on yours is the same as the one in my first pic then I reckon yours is indeed an LK50 (could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time :eek: ). I reckon the main compartment is definitely short of the 50L ~ but that the volume is based on the lid being intended / designed to be angled up and act as compression rather than sitting flat and flush with the top of the main compartment (hopefully that makes sense :eek: ).

Pity the makers mark isn't legible ~ but it's good to get a lead to another brand into the mix :D .

uk mainly in the Midlands though
It has arrived and got it :) It has been repaired and resewn from many cuts in the lightweight canvas, but structually looks sound. I will measure it up and post up the dimensions. I am starting to sort out the kit to go into it and looking at a few things....more to follow
