Re: [RBW] Re: Reg brings home the groceries

Yeah, I've been meaning to get to him about doing up a Specialites T.A. "Fifi" (Google,* stop 'correcting' my spelling! I know what I'm doing!*), or maybe a Follis Dunlop if I can come up with a decent image as a prototype. But unless I get lucky looking through my stack of 50s French racing ta

I forgot to add: I highly recommend Chuck Schmidt's Velo Retro musettes. They handle loads up to 5 lb, but squish down to 2" X 2" X 1" and fit into small wedges or your pocket. I carry one in the wedge of each of my 3 bikes, for "emergency" loads or overloads. Chuck will custom print yours for the

Re: [RBW] Re: Reg brings home the groceries

Actually, we largely agree on our riding preferences. By far the greatest part of my riding is turning short errand rides into long detours; the gofast, for which I carry a musette tightly rolled up in the seat wedge, is for the more rare "just ride" rides. I get most of my riding pleasure by detou

Re: [RBW] Re: Reg brings home the groceries

Horses for course. In ordinary circumstances, my go-fast bikes only come out for recreational purposes. I carry just enough stuff to deal with diabetic issues (eats, glucose testing equipment, phone, tube+tools). I usually won't even take a lock, which is 6-odd pounds of deadweight in that situ

Re: [RBW] Re: Reg brings home the groceries

That's for my musette. The 'five pounds' to which I refer is the collective weight of the groceries in *Patrick's* musette. The question for my own use has made me look at my small collection of musette-y bags, most of which are the canvas swag bags the East Bay Bike Coalition

Re: [RBW] Re: Reg brings home the groceries

Peter, you are looking at it all wrong. It's not how little a musette carries, it's that, riding the gofast on a pleasure ride, my musette lets me stop en route, shope, and carry essential dinner ingredients home. Indeed, i could have stuffed half the load into the new Banzer custom bag, but I want

Well, okay; but that's only about five pounds total. If a piece of luggage can't carry five pounds, what the hell use is it? Peter Adler trying to figure whether I can carry a five-pound Kryptonite *and* a tribute six-pack to the bike kitchen in a musette, so I don't have to use a stupid messen
