Mine all look used after a month! (Well, my NS canvas country bag, on the gofast, still looks new after a few months, but that's because the gofast doesn't get as much action as the errand bikes.) FWIW, the Country Bag is, to my mind, the ideal day ride bag: too small for commuting, too big for just tools and ride kit, but just right for tools, the bulky gloves, neck gaiter and pullover that you take off after 10 miles or so, plus lunch, book and camera. Lesli: what is yours made from? I thought that the options were canvas (approved) and tweed (not approved). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
