I figure I'm not a pizza delivery guy so I won't need a "front loader"......a rear saddle bag makes more sense in my rainy climate plus I need an excuse to get off my bike a stretch every now and then. My clone Atlantis seems to able to take a lighter front load also and when I do need something from a front bag when riding (thinking hard now) it will usually be light and or small. I think the whole giant front bag thing is overrated IMHO.
