Don, I am running large Acorn bag on my 61 cm Hilsen. I am guessing my regular weight comes in between 5-7lbs. I use mine for commuting to work. Clothes, lunch, repair kit, wallet, phone etc. No real issue handling. I have a descent on the way, that drops about 500+feet over 3/4 of a mile. I have hit speeds (not trying) of around 35 mph. No handling issues to speak of. I am in S.E PA. and the roads are in pretty bad shape overall. Tough couple of winters back to back have left things pretty broke up. Here is a pic.I am using the Nitto Marks rack with double struts.
