Speaking of Fabio's chest, has anyone used both the largest Saddlesack and this bag, and can you tell me how they compare in actual, usable grocery loading? I found the Saddlesack Large too small for the bigger grocery loads I carry; for example, I sometimes cram a 12 pack into a large pannier along with puffy bags of this or that; Saddlesack Large was too small.
But the Fabio's Chest ought to carry more even than my pair of Roller Packers, which carry as much as I need to carry, and it ought to be easier to load. I'm thinking of the FC for the Hon Solo with a Nitto QR attachment; on a Flite, the QR attachment makes the bag hang low, and that ought to work just fine with the gap between saddle and high-sitting Dahon rack. For now, I've found a way to attach the Roller Packers to the Dahon Ultimate Cargo Rack ( http://shop.dahonbikes.com/p/dahon-ultimate-rear-carrier?pp=8) so that they clear my feet and still fit tightly on the rear rack of the 2003 Riv; but a really big saddlebag would be even better.
