Heres the route give or take a had full of missed turns. DON'T MISS
the turn on the bike path by passing some short section of Sir Francis

I too saw them in Austin and thought they were extremely well made and
very good looking.

Hmm, that's a good idea. I had it mounted to a q/r without a rack, and
it drooped down in the rear in relation to its seatpost strap because
it moved the bag back and down so much. I can see where a rack would
have solved that. Of course, I solved it by ditching the q/r, but
there ya go..

what you need is a nitto q/r saddlebag grip for your medium saddle sack. i
have this and it anchors the bag further back at the top, so that it sits
plenty far back on my nitto r14 top rack. i also like the q/r, as i use
this for commuting and like to bring my bag inside when i shop. for what

The Quickbeam has been sold (twice over now). I have those Milanos pictured
from 1992 or so though! Re-soled countless times, full re-build of the
lowers about five years ago. Worth every penny. I have some of the shoes
as well as three other sandal types. The shoes fit weird, really narrow.
Rob, Derby's yeah ... I've always wanted some Birk shoes !
They even make 48N.
I've got 3 pairs of the sandals ... one upper dating back to the
early 90's. nothing like resolable footwear :) I'm riding in the

If you really want to take it up another click, invenst in a pair of
the shoes. I am a loyal Derby fan and hardly wear the sandals any
more. They can be found on ebay for deals, resoled every couple of
years for $50 or so. They are the best thing in shoes ever as far as
I can tell. I get about

I've tried it on a couple different racks. The bag simply isn't designed to
ride like that. In my opinion, if you're loading it so much that it's
causing handling problems, you need a bigger bag suited for a rack. I carry
tools, layers, food, etc., in mine unsupported, and it works great. It's o

Mike, helpful photo. Is that a medium or a large saddle sack?
After looking at my setup again its clear Big Rack does ride quite a
way to the rear to keep the panniers out of the way. Don't see how
the bag will fit on there without flopping over the loop at the
front. So, I'll probably get the

Does anyone have experience using the PAUL hubs on a Quickbeam or Simpleone?
I think Paul's recommended chainline for the rear hub is a bit unusual at

Rene, my 650b AHH is a 56, significantly smaller than your Atlantis.
The bag does rest on the front loop of the rack, but sort of molds
