Having recently moved to Eugene, Oregon, I'm looking for recommendations for a
good LBS to help me care for my Bleriot and Ram. I've visited at least half a
dozen bike shops and have been very impressed with everyone's friendliness, but
I'm asking for any suggestions from local RIV owners.
Thank

Yowzer that looks like a long day in the saddle!
Too bad about the heat. Looks like all the climbing is mile 100-130, just
when you're getting nice and warmed up!

This is the best one i've found.
Keeps your coffee HO! for hours.

So easy to expand/close for various size containers and due to their
design, your container is always secure.
The fact that they are uber sexy is just an added bonus. ;)

The worst thing? They break easily. I broke three, two of which had modest
use. All broke at the same place: just above where the wire is brazed to the
mounting plate.
Steel bottles, 8 oz heavier full but carrying slightly less liquid than a
large plastic bottle, also full; but still, for the price

Is Keven's bag permanently out of stock, or am I just very unlucky the few
times a year I check for it?
As an alternative, does anyone have experience with the "Carradice Zipped Roll"
bag?

I have them on a couple bikes with thousands of miles, including touring,
with no problems. A buddy of mine races cyclocross with his, no problems.
All of which is to say there's another side of the coin.

Well, I'm 6' 3", 220 lbs. Not quite a gorilla... Also, I definitely
don't consider the Nitto cages to be junk. Thanks for the offer, but
if I decide to let them go they'll be on eBay!

The Root is a very pretty paved trail in a charming, limestone-bluff-

so for the main part, with a couple other spurs of several miles each.

I have both bags. The zipper roll is wider and larger overall and holds a mini
pump or a click stand better. Keven's bag has a leather tab you can hook a
taillight to which is lacking on the Carradice. The keven is boxier in shape
and gives a different look. If you need to carry less, it's a bet
I heard from a reliable source that they'll be back in stock around the end
of the month.

As an alternative you can simply cut off some old Levis at the bottom
of one pant leg and hem one side and stitch on some Velcro closures
then attach with toe straps through your saddle loops. This works
quite well and can hold quite a bit of junk plus its cheap to do. It
kind of works like a burr
Hi Marty,
Sure, that sounds reasonable. Please wait until I confirm I can find
them (I'm sure that I can). I'll let you know in the morning.
