I've seen the Pelican boxes online, and they sure look nice... Lowepro even makes an insert for some of them.
The bike in question is indeed full suspension, but that doesn't mean a smooth ride. Imagine riding down a stairway... yeah, I do that. Do y'all think a hardcase with one of those Lowepro inserts would provide sufficient cushioning for negotiating rock gardens (almost as rough as stairways)? If so, I could probably get a seatpost-mounted rack that goes over the rear wheel to fasten it to. Here's the bike in question if anyone cares: http://jon.beigetower.org/bike/khs%20006.jpg Now has clipless pedals and is about to receive a driveline update. --- Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Back when I rode bicycles a lot (early 1980s, before > my hip gave > out), I used to carry a Nikon F2 with two lenses in > the equivalent of > a small Pelican box, bolted onto a custom bracket > that fitted behind > the seat.
