Another option I'm partial to is the Acorn Boxy Rando on the little Nitto mini front rack. It leaves the handlebars completely free. It comes with 4 velcro straps to attach to the rack platform plus a sleeve that slips over the vertical piece on the back of the rack. I added a couple of D-rings to the bottom toward the front and some shock cord to make it easier to take off / on than the 4 straps. Either way it's super secure & holds a ton of stuff.
Unless grossly over-loaded, it doesn't have much affect on handling on my 58 cm Atlantis. OTH, another list member had the same set-up on I think a 60 cm AHH and seriously did not like what it did to his handling. Bags can be funny that way. dougP On Dec 31, 12:08 pm, scott <clankbonesh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Go with a loafer and a bar tube combo. easy. I know the boxy bag is > pretty, but I didn't like it.
