Rob: Nice arrangement, and good intentions on minimizing the amount of stuff carried. However, if you need a just a little bit more capacity, I found Riv's Hobo bag makes a nice saddle bag, so presumable the Acorn would as well. A bar tube is a good place for snack, wallet, phone, etc. where you may want quick access and has little affect on handling.
Of course, being the chow hound I am, the bar tube wouldn't hold enough food so now I've Acorn's Boxy Rando bag on a small Nitto rack in front plus the Hobo as a saddle bag. There's probably people who can do lodging tours with that set-up but I just like lots'o'storage :). dougP On Feb 22, 3:45 pm, rperks <perks....@gmail.com> wrote: > I know that some of you out there are as in love with the Hobo bag > design as I am.
