How much can you get in the Lil' Loafer? I've never seen on in person but they look good in the photos & seem to be out of the way as far as your hands go. I use my front bag for food, maps, & a handy stash spot for clothes. As neat as it looks, the Lil Loafer looked a bit small for the price. But what's your real world experience with it?
I have a black nylon ugly trunk bag that's roughly the size of the big loafer. Hate the look but it works & that nylon stuff won't die so I have an excuse to replace it. For supported tours it goes on the rear rack & the ancient Hobo as a h'bar bag. Between food, clothes, & odds'n'ends, I've still managed to max that combo out. The Hobo is actually a bit in the way as a h'bar bag, even with 42 cm. Junk expands to fill the available space. dougP -----Original Message----- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of EricP Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 3:24 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Re: Sackville bags: how necessary, and for what uses? I'm torn with them. On the one hand, yeah, they are too fussy loking. On the other, they really look like the bees knees of bags. Whether I get the medium or not is still being debated. Right now, though, would rather have an olive tweed big loafer to match my lil' loaf. Going to run the Atlantis with a Nitto top rack, and those two bags together should handle most day rides that don't involve shopping.
