Hi Eric, Thanks for your comments, information, and suggestions. The Jandd Mountain Handle Pack seems to be almost perfect for what I was looking for. I've owned Jandd packs before, and they're a good value for nicely designed, well made, nylon bike packs. Of course, they're not nearly as nice as Riv's Sackville, Brand V, and tweed bags...but, for the occasional times that I would be using this pack(longer rides and such), it's at about the right price point.
Thanks again. Hi Joe, Thanks for your kind comments. When my wife finally talked me into test riding a few of their bikes, I was originally planning on getting the Yves Gomez mixte. But, I fell in love with the looks, ride, and handling of the Hunqapillar(and, yes, I was digging the wooly mammoth headbadge!). I loved the smooth and powerful feel of the high profile cantilever brakes, and the Bullmoose bar has got to be the most beautiful handlebar that I've ever seen. And the sweepback places the grips in your hands at a very natural and comfortable angle. Steering and handling with this bar is superb. If you haven't already, you really owe it to yourself to give the Hunqapillar a test ride. C'mon, Joe, Riv HQ is only a thirty minute drive from Fairfield! *lol* Geoff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
