I use an elegant tubus Luna. It is designed for light loads, however
I have used it on my rambouillet packed with tent, sleeping bag, air
mattress, & clothes (all light weight models) and was a sheer joy.
Will do it again this summer!
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Steve
Thanks for the uppdate, so its a co-op between Rivendell and
My Ram handled quite well with a simple (Bor Yeuh) rack left over from an old
Fuji Touring bike that I once owned. I used a set of Nashbar panniers (4.5L
total space) on it, and up to 30 lbs total of cargo, but usually more like 20.
I also tried another set up with a Mark's front rack and Ostric
Tubus Fly. My 3 Rivendells carried heavy (up to 40 lb) loads on a Fly with
nary a quiver. The Fly also bolts to your rear brake pivot bolt.

Hi Steve
Thanks for the uppdate, so its a co-op between Rivendell and Carradice now I
know the story. How do you compare Acorns to Carradice and Berthoud.

Hello RBW
I can´t find that traditional looking handlbar bag in cotton duck only the
saddlebags like the Nelson and Barley. I´m looking for that convenient style
that do not need a rack. All ideas are welcomed.

That looks like the Super C handlebar
I have done a number of multiday tours on my Rambouillet with the
Nitto Rear Rack and Pa Panniers. I pack light but easily carry tent,
bag, matt, cooking gear, clothes, food, and a few other small items.
The bike handles great and I havnt had any trouble with it. Ive also

Hello Steve
Where have you bought those bags do you know if they are still availble. I´m
looking for bags in the same style.

Actually, the Rambouillet is biased toward rear loading. I've carried a
biggish saddle bag and lightly loaded Hobo-style handlebar bag on mine for
trips exactly as you're describing. Fifteen or twenty pounds of gear
(including bags and rack/supports. Bike handled it just fine.
