My experience with seat bags is that they essentially do not affect
handling in any way I can detect. Rear rack trunks OTOH cause problems
nearly no matter what.

Go, Amit!
Now that I've poured through the Rivendell Flickr Pool numerous times,
I find that I'm enjoying photos (and videos) of bikes being used, or
at least with their owners, more and more. Usable bikes being used,
or something like that.

Except when you rise out of the saddle. Then, the load is unsupported,
and tends to be the tail wagging the bike. But that applies to all
rear loads, in

Not Riv content, but some of the parts are from there...
Unfortunately my schedule and small child is not going to allow me to
commute for the forseeable future. It's no use sitting in my basement,

probably ridden it 8k

I have a Carradice but haven't used it much yet. My usual saddle bags are
3-liter or so wedges, that are tightly coupled to the saddle.

Not bad! These look remarkably similar to the Zimbale bags (at

When I ordered my custom Rivendell back in 02 I requested braze-on mounts for a
small front rack. I had to send a drawing to Grant to show where I thought the
mounts needed to be. At this time I don't Rivendell had a request for such
mounts.
When I got the bike I eventually mounted a Bertho

Thanks for the information. The lock I used had the newer "flat" key

I have two 650B's – a Saluki and a ProtoBleriot set up as a

Interesting. I used to be immensely strong but now I just ride
bikes. I eat a lot but just get fatter and weaker.

Sorry to hear about your bike. I hope it turns up.
I'm still waiting for the day, and I think it will be soon, when you
can hide a GPS unit in the frame, bars, somewhere and track down your
bike via your phone if it's missing.
