I have an Acorn Boxy - just got it to match my Large Saddlebag for my Hilsen. Initial comments before riding: 1. I like the fact that it mounts low and is easy on/off 2. It is well made and seems very stable 3. It's on the small side, so make sure it's big enough for what you will use it for 4.

I have Racers on my Bleriot, and the mounting bolts are recesssed.  I use a set of Sheldon Fender Nuts (available from Riv) instead of the supplied nuts, but the supplied nuts are fine. ditto, for me. i have a 57cm, and with the Racers and Hetres, there is a room to spare, even with fenders.

I found the inner opening more difficult - having to fish it through the decaleur to open and/or close took more attention that reaching over the Inujirushi, for me. They're both super nice bags though, and both beautiful. What did you find harder to use about the Berthouds? I replaced my
