Acorn makes great bags. I have two saddle bags (2 strap roll and the medium) and they are everything I look for in a product: well made, very functional, and good looking. On Jun 4, 9:25 am, clevewheel wrote: > A lot of people like the Acorn bags - a nice tan color with a kind of > buckle that'

I'm 6'0" with an 86cm PBH. I could have gone for either a 58 or 60 Rambouillet, but 58's are rare as hen's teeth on the used market, so I bought a used 60cm. I love the frame, but it really feels too big for me...I raced in my youth, and have always felt that 58cm frames usually fit about right,
