I'll second that. Please post photos of the bag on the bike so we can get an idea of scale. Load it up. Then a photo of all the stuff that went into the bag, spread out, with some common item like a loaf of bread for scale comparison. Knowing it's 23 liters is helpful but I know 30 bottles of wine won't fit.

To: "RBW Owners Bunch" <rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> Date: Thursday, February 5, 2009, 10:06 PM I ordered the large one and plan to keep it on my Bleriot. That bike is most frequently ridden on errands or on weekends with my wife and two kids, who at 5 and 8 are adept cyclists, but not yet able to carry much. I typically carry lunch for 4, extra layers for the boys, a stuffed something or other, and anything we buy at the local markets. I have an old Baggins Hoss on my Quickbeam and like it a lot, but this bag looks more substantial, formed, and potentially useful.

(Also, I don't yet know how I feel, exactly, about a saddlebag that comes with its own engraved serial number plate.) But I'm quite curious to hear if anyone is planning to purchase one and what uses are planned for it. (The idea that a saddlebag is spec'd to fit a 14" laptop certainly makes the case for ditching your briefcase pannier...) > > Beth > > <br><br>http://bikelovejones.livejournal.com<br />http://veloquent.blogspot.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
