Kelly, I'm not sure what bike you're planning to ride with a Rando bag (you obviously have several bikes!). If you haven't already gotten a Mark's Rack and the bike will accommodate a front rack with cantilever mounts, you might consider the front rack that VO makes with an integrated decaleur. Here's a link to their website: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/racks-decaleurs/racks/pass-hunter-front-rack-with-integrated-decaleur.html This rack is also made in another version that mounts to bosses on the fork, instead of cantilever mounts.
That rack will accommodate a medium-size handlebar bag, like the Acorn Boxy Rando Bag (which is 20 cm in height). It would probably fit one of the various Gilles Berthoud bags as well, probably the GB25, or GB2586 deluxe (22 cm high). I have one of the VO "Traditional Stem Mount" decaleurs on my Rivendell Road Standard (65 cm frame size), with a Gilles Berthoud GB2886 (27 cm high). However I only have about 11 inches between the bottom of the handlebar and the rack (which is a Mark's Rack), so I'm not sure you'd want to use that decaleur. At any rate, here's a photo from my Flickr Photostream that shows the Traditional decaleur on my Riv: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37964304@N05/3634095108/in/set-72157619758078965/ Jim Cloud Tucson, AZ On Mar 25, 7:09 pm, Kelly Sleeper <tkslee...@gmail.com> wrote: > I keep looking and thinking that during the summer when I'm not out to carry > as much that a rando bag on a marks rack might be the ticket. > > Trouble is I don't think they make rando bags tall enough to reach the > Decaleur.
