Actually, the Rambouillet is biased toward rear loading. I've carried a biggish saddle bag and lightly loaded Hobo-style handlebar bag on mine for trips exactly as you're describing. Fifteen or twenty pounds of gear (including bags and rack/supports. Bike handled it just fine.
I don't have a pic of the Rambly loaded, but these are the same bags and same load, give or take, on my Saluki: http://www.flickr.com/photos/40738...@n08/4300021077/sizes/l/ On a railtrail just outside of LaCrosse, Wisconsin...

I would like to use my Rambouillet but I think I need to carry a bit more than will go in my handlebar bag which is the only bag I've ever used with the bike. I have another bike set up for heavy loads. I know the Ram is not designed for carrying a lot of rear weight but I was thinking that a smallish set of panniers on a rear rack would work. Recommendations for a rack or should I go low riders in the front? -- GeorgeS -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
