My heart now beats a little faster when considering what I now know to be called, front mount bags and handlebar bags, thanks to all the positive reviews. It's a much spendier proposition than I first realized, however. The front mounts not only require a $120ish front rack but a $85ish decalleur. That means the two bags I'm particularly enamored with, the Acorn Boxy Rando Bag and the Berthoud GB25, seemingly attainable bags at $175 and $255 respectively, actually cost around $380 and $460!!!
As a result, I'm heavily considering Riv's Sackville Barsack and Nitto F-15 mount for a grand total of $225. I like the idea of quickily taking the back with me when I lock it outside while I refuel on caffeine and scones. It also appears quick and easy to remove the rack for quicker, tube+pump fitness rides. Any critiques of this set-up are welcome.
