You're right there Kelly. I bet the tall Berthoud bag and a Berthoud decauler would work fine for you on a big bike. I really think it's a bad idea for a taller person to get a small HB bag like the one VO sells. The Berthoud bags are great quality and work well when set-up properly. The Berthoud decauler would work well for you if the bag is below the HB a few centimeters. I've used the VO decauler and it might not work as well for you depending on your set-up http://www.renehersebicycles.com/NPP%20Bags.htm My 63cm Hilsen with the largest Berthoud bag: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41335973@N00/3585988020/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/41335973@N00/4510673877/in/set-72157613195465589/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/41335973@N00/3419940264/in/set-72157613195465589/ Berthoud bag mounted on my Rambouillet (sold) with VO decauler: http://www.flickr.com/photos/41335973@N00/4251858375/in/set-72157613195345103/ It might be hard to see in this photo but mounting the bag was a bit tricky because of the length of the stem and position of the decauler. I definitely say go big on the bag, it's expensive but worth it and consider the Berthoud decauler. You could also see if someone could build you a decauler. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
